How can I create a more holistic pest management strategy?
Living in a temperate climate allows for a vibrant garden, which I’ve designed over time to be both beautiful and functional. I've been exploring integrated pest management (IPM) but feel like my approach is a bit fragmented. Currently, I apply some organic treatments, use a few beneficial insects, and practice crop rotation, but I'm not seeing the overall synergy I hoped for. I'm seeking advice on how I can develop a more cohesive strategy that not only addresses pest problems but also enhances the ecological balance of my garden. What steps would you recommend for someone like me who has a good foundation but is looking to elevate their IPM game? Any particular practices or resources that have helped you would be greatly appreciated!
