5 Beneficial Bugs that Could Help Your Organic Garden Grow
• http://naturalsociety.com, by Christina SarichOnce you get all the synthetic, poisonous crud out of your garden, farm, or lawn, then the balance of nature can give you an impeccable lawn or a garden your friends will drool over. Even larger farms can benefit from allowing beneficial bugs to be part of their overall ecosystem.
Also, planting a few things that beneficial bugs like to dine on, and offering them as ‘sacrificial’ plants can also create a whole host of good bugs that will eat ‘bad’ bugs and not the rest of your crops. Planting dill, fennel or Queen Anne’s Lace, for example, will not only give you some great herbs and gorgeous flowers, but also attract beneficial bugs.
