The secret to organically giving those destructive pests the boot is by encouraging the population of the good bugs. For example, what do you do about an aphid problem? Introduce ladybugs! If it’s fruit tree spider mites, green flies, or small caterpillars that have got you ticked, you can encourage hover flies! (By the way, hover flies love marigolds, phacelia or “poached egg” plants.) As scary as they are, dragonflies are actually really great for your garden too, because they eat mosquitoes. You can encourage the dragonfly population in your garden by planting reedy plants.
Amphibians, like frogs, eat many flies, moths and flying insects. Building a pond near your garden will encourage a wider, diverse amount of insects that will feed on a wider, diverse population of pests. Bees are also a great addition to any garden. Bees are great at pollinating, and if you need more of that, plant some flowers around your garden, the bees will come. So as you can see, the target here is not to kill all the bugs in sight, but to keep biodiversity in your garden, and encourage the good bugs. Always be sure that you know which pests you are facing before introducing a new species of bugs. So don’t introduce beneficial bugs when their prey is non-existent or else they could actually disrupt your garden’s natural ecosystem and even worsen your pest problems.
I bet you didn’t know [heirloom] carrots come in a variety of colors and nutrients. In Afghanistan, the purple carrot is the most common. In India, the pink; and in Europe the white and yellow carrots reign supreme. Heirloom carrots are tasty, yet their flavor and nutrients vary. Purple carrots contain antioxidants much like blueberries. Carrots also contain Vitamin A, as well as trace amounts of nutrients and fiber. A quick tip for planting carrots, make sure the soil is fine and stays fine deep down. Any rocks or thick pieces of dirt or compost can affect the shape of your carrots. Carrots are easy to plant, and very healthy. Good Luck!
