Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - I've been dragged (against my will) into the organic way of growing

Lilypon · August 18, 2008

in Canada most pesticides have already been banned for sale to the home gardener and where I now garden it's been made totally pesticide free (we hardly had anything left to chose from in the stores anyways). Now there is a huge outbreak of cabbage worms, potato beetles and flea beetles

at the community garden (so far we've been lucky and have caught the infestation right away at our patch but the numbers are against us

).

So please what do the experts use here?
