jud asked:
still wet and cold my garden will not be planted until the end of May. But by then it will be filled with weeds. Can I apply corn gluten now and then till it under in May without hurting my first planting? Or just fight the weeds until my plants are 5 inches tall?

Here in California, growing season has already started. My green bean sprouts are a few inches tall, and already something is eating holes into the leaves. I never see any insects on the plants (do they only come out at night?), though last year there were a whole bunch of very small white flies on them. I put soap on them last year and that controlled them a bit, but they always came back. What could be eating the leaves this year?

I don’t want to put any harsh chemicals on them, otherwise I’d just buy veggies at the grocery store and save myself the hassle. What organic ways are there to combat insects eating garden vegetables?

samekid480 asked:
I just recieved a huge truckload of wood chips from the city and I’m wondering if it is okay to use it as mulch in my organic garden. I was told that they may attract ants to my garden. Do ants eat your vegies? Are there any other reasons I shouldn’t use the wood chips in my garden? I have about 300 sq. ft. to cover, so I’m hoping the wood chips will work fine. Also I’m going to use wood chips to cover my back porch where the land is eroding from the cement. I would like to build up the soil about 6 inches and put the wood chips on top of that. Can I just throw down a bunch of organic materials and then throw down the wood chips?
