Dealing with garden pests doesn’t mean you have to resort to harsh chemicals. Natural solutions like neem oil can effectively deter pests without harming your plants or the environment. Introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs can also help manage aphids and other harmful pests. Another tip is to plant marigolds around your garden; their scent naturally repels many pests. These eco-friendly practices not only keep your garden healthy but also protect the local ecosystem.
