If so, what do I do about them? They are relatively small (for ants) and I think they might be red and black. They are all over the place, and I don’t want to use any pesticides in my garden. I use organic miracle grow vegetable garden soil

Em asked:
Hello! I live in the city, and there are roaches EVERYWHERE. My next door neighbors have a huge roach problem. I have a lizard living in my kitchen, so at least for the moment, I don’t have any roaches in the house. Unfortunately, I don’t think it would be humane to release lizards in my backyard, as they would die when it got colder. Any ideas on how I could grow an organic garden in my backyard while keeping the roaches off my food?

My mom hasn’t really ever gardened before. Last year she tried, but didn’t get into it much. We are into the whole organic foods thing so I thought we should garden to save some money on all the produce we buy. Do you know of any good gardening books for beginners like my mom?

DAViDXx asked:
I added 3 large bags of cedar mulch to my garden this year. I’m just wondering how long it will take for the cedar to break down. Can I expect a fair amount of decomposition by next summer after it has sat through the snow? The reason I ask is because the soil was mainly clay when I started, and I want to make sure that there will be enough organic matter for next year.
Any advice as to how I can speed up the decomposition would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I have lots of mushrooms coming up in my vegetable garden from some organic potting soil that I bought. Will it make the veggies toxic?

Elle asked:
I’m into more of organic ways, no chemical pesticides and want to know what the difference is in these seeds … if one has harmful stuff in them or has been genetically changed?

stimpy asked:
I’ve got some garden pests I need to identify. They are small black caterpillar type insects that congregate in excess of 50+ and systematically eat a plant one leaf at a time. After the fact, there is a skeleton of the previous leaf structure remaining. If it’s any help I live in Texas. I’d like to use a homemade organic deterrent, rather than a broad based insecticide. Therefore, identification is kind of important.
