Learn to identify and manage three basic types of garden pests.
Why is it when 97% of the world's insects are considered to be either beneficial or harmless, your garden attracts only the remaining 3% - PESTS? Although it may seem this way, there are both "good" and "bad" insects in your yard.
There is a constant battle going on to maintain a balance between these two groups. Toleration of some pests should be allowed as they provide a food source for the beneficial insects, allowing them to thrive in your yard and keep the pests in check. However, even in the best of gardens, uncontrolled outbreaks do occur. Preventing an infestation of bugs is an important part of vegetable gardening. By taking several precautions and putting forth a little bit of effort in the beginning, you will hopefully be rewarded with (almost) pest-free veggies and flowers.
