Effective Physical Barriers
fine nets, cardboard rings
Marigolds and basil, planted strategically between rows, deter aphids and whiteflies without affecting vegetables. The result is a healthier garden with abundant harvests and no chemical interventions.
Fine mesh netting and cardboard rings around stems prevent caterpillars and beetles from reaching leaves and fruit. These inexpensive solutions are installed in minutes and can be kept from one season to the next.
Ladybugs, bees, and parasitic wasps maintain the ecosystem balance by feeding on common pests. Aromatic plants and wildflowers create a friendly habitat that reduces the need for any additional treatment.
