How do I prevent pests from damaging my dahlia plants?
In my vertical garden setup, I’ve noticed that dahlias can attract a fair number of pests. Last season, my dahlias were plagued by aphids and snails, which really impacted their growth and flowering. I’ve tried a few home remedies like neem oil and diatomaceous earth, but I’m looking for more integrated pest management strategies that align with my goal of promoting biodiversity in my garden. What eco-friendly solutions have worked well for you in keeping pests at bay while ensuring that beneficial insects can thrive? I’d appreciate any insights or techniques that have been effective for you!
