Organic Vegetable Gardening

As you well know, bugs and insects eating your vegetables is one of the biggest problems when it comes to organic vegetable gardening and can be very frustrating and hard to handle, but there are a number of organic pest control measures that you can put in place in order to protect your precious vegetables.

With these tried and tested tactics under your belt you will start beating these nasty bugs and you will have your lovely vegetables back to yourself again in no time at all.

Plant Some Flowers

Believe it or not, there are some insects and bugs that will help protect your vegetables for you by eating the nasty pests, so what you should do is make your garden inviting and welcoming for these friendly insects. The best way to do this would be to plant a variety of different flowers that these particular insects love so they will come and set up home in your garden and be your vegetable bodyguards Some of these flowers include:

Marigold

Daisy

Candy Tuft

Viola

Californian Poppy

Golden Rod

So as you can see there are plenty to choose from as this is just a very small example and there are even certain herbs like Sage, Parsley and Chives (just to name a few) that will help as well which is very handy indeed.

Attract Friendly Wildlife

As well as using flowers in order to attract the friendly insects you should also be doing everything you can to attract other forms of wildlife that will help you protect your precious vegetables. If you have enough room in your garden it would be a fantastic idea to get a pond put in, that way you will attract frogs and dragonflies. Birds are also very helpful when it comes to organic gardening so putting up a bird box and/or bird bath would be also be a good idea. A few of the other animals that are good to have around are:

Centipede

Garden Spider

Hedgehog

Lady Birds

So once you have started attracting this friendly wildlife into your garden you will see a remarkable increase in the health of your vegetables and the best thing about this method is that once you have attracted these animals they will generally stay around as long as you make sure your garden is full of the things that they like.
