Discover The Top 10 Tips For Keeping Pests And Illnesses Away From Your Organic Vegetable Plants.

Everytime a new chemical is produced for commercial use a watered down version appears in the local garden

Centre which claims to do wonderful things for pest elimination. The reality is that by cultivating your own natural

Organic garden you will not face the same issues as those that opt to use synthetic products and you

Will have much more fit organic vegetable plants.

Below you may find the top ten actions you can take to maintain a healthy organic garden all year long

And keep pests and diseases off your organic vegetable plants.

1. Good cultivating practices

Always keep a robust organic approach when cultivating your organic vegetable plants. Don't forget to feed the soil

Not the plant.

2. Keep your garden clean and tidy

Never leave rubbish around put weeds on the compost pile straightaway. This is extra vital with thinned

Seeds, because insect pests are drawn to the hint of bruised stems.

3. Keep your compost pile healthy

remember to only put healthy plant waste on your heap. If any sign of disease, burn it! Always burn prunings from

Fruit tree's as they are likely to get infected with mildew. The ashes from these plants might be used as a fertilizer

For your organic vegetable plants.

four. Sterilise your pots and seed trays

remember to keep pots and seed trays very clean and if at all possible sterilise with boiling water. If you're growing

Your organic vegetable plants in a greenhouse keep this extra clean and always pick off a pest or any

Fungus you find on a leaf immediately.

five. Keep you daily care

To keep your organic vegetable plants upto scratch you will need to be double vigilant especially in the summer

Months. Get into the habit of walking round the garden at least once a day. Remove errant weeds and keep an eye

Open for the first signs of attack from pests and sicknesses.

six. Always buy healthy plants

In most countries the govt. cover some plants with a certificate of health to show they are free from illness.

It is so easy to buy plants that have viruses or sicknesses.

7. Don't just buy healthy plants, raise healthy plants too!

Safeguard plants you have raised yourself. It can be hard to eliminate the weaklings when you have grown them yourself.

Remember a young plant infected with an illness is a drawback to your organic vegetable plants from the start.

eight. Reduce Aphids

Hover flies are the most valuable pest predator in the garden. The female will lay her eggs on the colonies

Of aphids so that larvae have a freely available source of food. To draw in hover flies plant marigolds

( Tagetes and calendula ), poppies ( papaversp ) or nasturtiums ( Trapaeolum ).

9. Inspire other predators

It is tougher to attract more predators because they don't always eat flowers. Wasps, ladybirds and

Lacewings can be encouraged by planting carrots between rows of onions so that the hint of the carrots is camouflaged.

10. Control birds and animals

The single most deleterious pests in the garden are the bigger ones like birds, deer, rabbits, moles and mice.

The most effective control is to stop them reaching your crops. Physically cover seedlings with netting and protect

Crops by placing percentages in the ground with netting placed ott. Do not forget to put jam jars ott

Of the stakes to protect the netting.
