As
an organic farm, we take advantage of every natural opportunity to
control harmful insect populations. Here you see a picture of one of
them. Flowers attract beneficial insects to come in and destroy harmful
insects. It is all a part of God's wonderful plan.
We have been farmscaping for
many years. It is good that zennias and sunflowers like plenty of water.
We have had a super rainy season!
Other ways of controlling
harmful insects are to hand pick them off of the plant, to keep a clean
garden, to not give them a place to hide and reproduce, and to spray
when necessary with an organic spray such as soap, hot pepper, etc.
