Did you know that nematodes, trichogramma wasps and even Lady Bugs are good for your garden?

Lady Bugs are great for dealing with the Aphid problem. Apply Lady Bugs in the evening after watering on top of your infected plants. They'll eat three times their body weight in aphids! When the Lady Bugs leave, so have your aphids.

Web worms a problem in your trees? Time for the first release of trychogramma wasps. Buy them in tabs with 3,000 eggs on them and hang in a tree. When they hatch they lay their eggs in web worms and kill them. The organic control for the pesky web worm. Bugs taking care of other bugs, Mother Natures way!
