Utilize Beneficial Insects

Beneficial insects are a great way to keep pests at bay without using chemicals. Look for native species that will help protect your home garden from invasive bugs and provide natural pest control. One of the most beneficial types of insects for home gardens are ladybugs. These bugs feed on aphids, which can be damaging to plants if left unchecked. Ladybugs also help keep the population of other pests down and in many cases, don’t need any additional food or care from you.

Control Pests Naturally

In addition to beneficial insects, there are other natural methods you can use to keep pests away from your home garden. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth or apply a garlic spray to the plants for added protection.

Use Drip Irrigation for Ease and Efficiency

Drip irrigation is a great way to water your home garden without having to do it manually every day. It uses special fittings and hoses that slowly deliver water directly to the roots of plants, ensuring they stay healthy and hydrated with minimal effort from you!
