Actually, most insects are good insects, its just those few that make a bad name for them all ;) <BR/><BR/>Your information was spot on. Another technique concerning insect pests in the garden (especially with crops) that is being researched at the University of Mass. is using a border of attractive plants around the crops to deter pests like colorado potato beetle, etc. The idea is that they would be more attracted to the border plant than the crop plant. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am a novice gardener, so I am sure I will be back to ask for your advice.<BR/><BR/>Always, <BR/>Kelley <BR/>www.bugsforthugs.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529412948720265939.post-26917220345513540802008-02-25T10:13:00.000-07:002008-02-25T10:13:00.000-07:00Thank-you for the kind words Nan!
