Natural gardening tips
Haven't seen too much here on vegetable gardening so I'll give it a shot. A few tips for non-poisonous gardening:
Potatoes: sure fire deterrent for potatoe beetle is to plant horseradish among the potatoe plants.
broccoli and cauliflower: cabbage worm is deterred by cheap and simple crushed lime (that's powerdered lime, not the fruit).
zucchini and other squash: nasturtium deters squash beetles; stem borers can be removed with a crochet hook and the injured stem buried to save the plant, usually.
These are just a few that immediately come to mind. I never use poison and am always eager to learn more. Have at it folks.
