Insect problems

[sidermanwi]

I have a very small garden outdoors and the insects are chewing away at my young plants. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to treat this. I have no clue to the type of insect eating them. They just have holes in all the leaves.

pics would def help, but you could just get some neem oil, or all natural bug killer spray and be gentle with the spray, do a test spray on less important leaves...

get some chrysanthemums. Plant them near the plants. Also blend one up in water, and spray your plants.

This will help keep harmful bugs out of the garden?

Google Natural pesticides and you will find "Pyrethrum", made from chrysanthemums. Works great! Cheap too, if you make your own.

I am going to try that, and I will report back my results, since I too am suffering from the same problem. Thank you Roseman, you are always a great help!

Thanks. I guess I was aware of that, as I've used the spray products before. But I like the idea of planting some right in the garden. I want my little patch to be as natural as possible.
