Default keeping insects out

hi my name is maria, and i would like to join your group i have a
question if anyone can help me. How do you keep insects out of your
garden naturally.



Look up some sites on organic gardening and pest control. There are a
number of different methods. One is to use other insects to eat the

pests.
For instance, some wasps eat certain caterpillars. Ladybugs eat aphids.
Japanese beetles can be trapped by using scent attractants. Some manually
kill a number of insects and then pulverize the corpses and spray them on
the plants in order to foster bug killing disease. Grubs can be

controlled
by spreading gritty substances around the bases of the plants, or by
setting out bowls with beer that they drink and then drown in.



Blowing tobacco smoke at pesky bugs also helps...
