Slugs are already eating the leaves of my pole beans. Last year I used an organic product called "escargo" to rid of them. This year I had to buy something similar, because I couldn't find "escargo" anywhere. Another method I use to controlls slugs along with the pellets is beer. This organic alternative is quite simple; I place stale beer in some shallow dishes and bury them at ground level in between the plants that are being attacked. Slugs cannot resist beer, so they drink themselves to death.
Ladybugs are very beneficial for anyone who gardens organically. These cute little insects prey on the pests responsible for the distruction of many vegetable plants in one's garden. Next time you see a ladybug perched on your tomato leaf, it's searching for prey, not damaging the plant.
About Me
- Lydia
- I am a married mother of two. I've decided to start a blog about cooking, art, organic gardening and my wonderful experiences while practicing a healthy lifestyle. Since I've never been a fan of meat, I am a vegan and have been one for many years. Lately, on rare occasions, I do find myself craving fresh fish and seafood. Cheese doesn't agree with me, even though I like it, so I eat soy products in place of dairy. Working out and spending as much time outdoors as I can during the summer months, is something I do often. I try to get out to work in my vegetable garden at least four times a week. It's so important for me to keep myself connected to nature. The best way for me to do this, is by being outdoors working in the soil. Painting is one of my favorite hobbies. Even though I didn't finish, I do have some college behind me. My major was in Art Education. Hopefully, I will get more time to paint as my children get older and I get more time to myself. By having this blog, I am also able to share many of my late mother's home cooked Italian recipes, my recipes and some of my close friend's recipes with others.
