NATURAL GARDEN PEST CONTROL

Your garden is probably in full swing now and that means it may have become a buffet for many destructive pests. I have found one resource in particular that has really been helpful in distinguishing between good and bad bugs, infections and how to naturally control each of these.

The Organic Gardener's Handbook of Natural Pest and Disease Control: A Complete Guide to Maintaining a Healthy Garden and Yard the Earth-Friendly Way by Fern Marshall Bradley, Barbara W. Ellis, and Deborah L. Martin

This is, of course, one of many great resources and if you are caught trying to decipher between a couple possible problems or pests, try using other organic gardening resources to aide you in the hunt. Here are a few others that I use:

The Vegetable Gardener's Bible

Rodale's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening

Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening

The Gardener's A - Z Guide to Growing Organic Food
