Organic Gardening magazine has made a simple and practical list of the most common beneficial insects along with tips on attracting them to your yard. Read more here...

How to Treat Plants with Spider Mites? At this time of year two spotted spider mites can be a real problem. They like it hot and dry, and multiply rapidly. One of the safest and most effective ways to control spider mites is to use Triple Action Plus, an extract of Neem oil. It has the advantage of killing a host of other insects as well, and takes care of many foliar diseases like mildew and leaf spot. It takes 2 or 3 sprays to treat the whole life cycle from egg to adult, but it is worth it! |
