Growing plants might be a piece of cake if all you had to do was plant some seeds and watch them grow, but there's much more to it than that. Right after the primary hard work is completed and your plants are beginning to grow, pests are going to appear out of nowhere and start attacking your plants. If you make your garden extremely clean, the insects will be kept away. Rich compost piles tend not to generally cause issues but an messy yard that is not regularly cared for can be a significant problem.
Some of the organic helps for ridding your garden of pests are earthworms, and their continuous stirring of the soil, keeping it open to air and water. Common birds, like meadowlarks, orioles, robins, and sparrows, feed on common insects. Some bugs, such as the ladybug, do a good deed by feeding on damaging insects. You shouldn't grumble about toads, given that they consume a lot of insects at one time. Creating a garden that is irresistible to birds and toads is a great idea for a gardener who wants to keep away those harmful insects.
Birds will probably hang close to your yard when you have a birdhouse, sprinkle some grain in early spring, and have a place for water. To fix things up for the toads, you are going to have to have a nice shady place. You might like to place a couple of stones under the shade of a shrub along with some wet leaves. The toads might benefit from the cool shade in the sizzling hot summer and enjoy feasting on insects during the evening. How insects work is the pinpointing factor as to which category of insect they fall into.
Grasshoppers and caterpillars fall under the category that chews on pieces of a plant and prefers to gnaw. Scale insects, such as plant lice along with mosquitoes, attach themselves to the plant, and suck the juice out of it. The gnawing set could be poisoned with a spray applied to the plant, which they take into their bodies with the plant. Another choice is to spray the plants, and thus the insects, directly with insecticides. Each one will do a deadly job on the pests. Backyard gardeners usually speculate which insect is causing the damage, which is determined by observing either the type of damage or the actual insect.
You are most likely dealing with a cutworm if your young plant's stalk has been completely cut off. Seeing a grayish striped caterpillar often means you are looking at a cutworm. They are hard to see since they rest during the day and only come out to work at night. Make use of paper or tin collars to protect your plants. More established are plant lice which are usually green in color, but may be red, brown or yellow. They are not really hard to find as they adhere to the plant.
