How to garden organically


Natural Pest Control

by

I noticed that some of my Poppy seed head had an infestation of Black Aphids.

Beginning this year I decided to garden without commercial insecticides.

I’ve been rounding up the ladybugs in my garden and moving them to plants that have had insect infestations. Here I moved a ladybug so it could eat the black aphids I found so I wouldn’t have to resort to a bug spray.

This video will accompany a blog entry on this subject along with before and after photos.

    It was really weird, but they just needed shelter. We let them live, and in the spring they left.

    Lady bugs are a sign of good luck to me.
