How do I effectively manage pests on heirloom crops?
I've been gardening with heirloom seeds for a few years now, and while I've enjoyed the diversity and flavors they bring, pest management has become a pressing concern. My garden is surrounded by wildflowers and native plants, which I love, but sometimes those pesky aphids and caterpillars seem to target my heirloom vegetables. I've tried using neem oil, but I'm curious if there are more eco-friendly or organic approaches that can help me manage these pests effectively without harming beneficial insects. I'd love to hear about any strategies or preventive measures that have worked for you. Thank you! 🐞
