Product Description
Pest control is a much easier task in a highly diverse garden as compared to a monoculture, but Jessica Walliser takes an entomologist’s view of ecology and applies it to the living landscape. She profiles the insects pests, as well as the allies, and then demonstrates how to control pest outbreaks by selecting plants that will attract a wide range of predators and pollinators. With this book in hand, it’s easy to design a garden wherein the bugs look after themselves. And many of the plants she profiles have multiple uses, including those that are tasty.
