worry more about kids & prying eyes

You can use products like hot pepper wax spray to try to keep pests off your plants. You can also use Bang to fend off many different pests too.

Rabbits can eat the leafs as do squirls but the pepper wax keeps them away, they don't care for the taste.

Human hair keeps most bigger pests away. For the smaller pests, grow some beneficials nearby: chamomile, buckwheat, marigolds.

Cats are tougher. Half filled bottle of water left out in the yard is supposed to startle them (light reflects in clear bottle frazzling them). They hate snakes so small pieces of hose might help. Plant Rue. "rue the day". Or some catnip at the other end of the garden.

hey green, chamomile is a benificial? how so?

[greenbastard]

It draws in parasitic insects that feast on pests. Like most benificials, they need next to no care and do their job with no fuss. Companion planting books cover the subject well and you can apply tomato suggestions to Mary.

There's a long list of plants that help keep insects in balance and add nutrition to the soil. Each helps in it's own way.

Here's a link with some plants used for organic ferts.

Using cover crops like alfalfa, winter rye, buckwheat, and clover in outdoor beds helps conserve water, keeps soil healthy, and prevents soil erosion. Turning them into the soil before planting adds nutrients and other goodness.

:1baa:cool, thanks. i had a bunch of chamomile seeds, too late this yr but i will consider them for next yr. they look a bit like daisys and wouldnt be out of place in a field here, but i have never seen a wild marigold(lol ) :1baa:

i would like to add something about the organics, rabbit manure and goat manure can also be used to feed a worm farm. high in nitrogen because of their diet. also that rabbit manure is suposed to be one of the only manures you can use fresh, meaning it wont burn your plants. i read this somewhere so dont take it as gospell.

use the flowers for chamomile tea with honey. My fav.
