The Good Bugs
When you’re tooling around in the garden and spot a bug,
don’t automatically think it’s a bad one!
More than 90 percent of the bugs out there are actually GOOD ones; providing pollination, or are predators of bad bugs, and in all cases, bugs provide food for other beneficials such as birds and frogs.
Everything is connected. Everything you do to the soil, air, water and plant itself, will eventually affect something else.
If you do encounter destructive pests, there is ALWAYS a safe alternative to toxic chemicals. Check out my Garden Tutorial section for a concise list of what you can safely use in your garden.
Remember - it’s all connected, and that includes the health of you and your family. Take care of your ecosystem.
