Insect Invasion

Insects. Their numbers are mind-boggling. According to the Smithsonian Institute there are over 900,000 species identified and the estimate for the unidentified range from 2 to 30 million. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive. The point is that they are everywhere in and around your garden. From a gardener's point of view there are good insects and bad ones, and it only takes a few of the bad ones to ruin your plants, the same plants that you depend on to grow tasty vegetables in your garden.

.

Believe me that when I tell you that it is very frustrating to do all of the work necessary to prepare a vegetable garden only to see the plants eaten and destroyed by insects before you have had a chance to enjoy the harvest. By carefully watching your plants as they grow and mature I have learned that you can prevent this from becoming a significant problem.

.

First, you must identify them. You need to know what kind of insects you are looking for. Each type of plant has its' own special enemies. Not every insect is a problem and in fact some of them are not only harmless but in fact may help you control the others. So identifying them properly is very important.

.

Second, take the recommended steps to eliminate them. In the next video I will talk about insect control methods such as pesticides as well as the more natural method of using other insects, such as the Praying Mantis, to help save your plants.
