What Will The Spill Kill? asked:
I decided to go organic this year and I need a few tips. How do you keep the bugs off the plants. How can you fertilize them if it’s organic. Are there vegetables and fruits I can grow inside–if so, how do I pollinate them? Any advice would be nice.
Thank you in advance!!!

Glamour Jeans asked:
I had a pepper plant that was growing really well then I saw a bunch of white bugs on it. I wanted to spray it with something natural (organic) to get rid of the bugs. This year I am going to try lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers again. What could I use that woudl be natural? Someone said soap and water but that just means more chemicals. Any ideas???
And just to reiterate this is an indoor vegetable garden.

Garth Brooks Fan asked:
I live in S.Florida so it’s pretty hot and humid most of the time
I’ve started growing in plastic trays
I used a 50/50 mix of natural (sandy) soil and Miracle Grow gardening mix
Questions
1. What do I need to keep documented? (I.E. - When I started growing each plant)
2. I’d like to use organic matter as fertilizer, how long should I let it decompose first?
3. I do have a pig, should I use pig manure as fertilizer?
4. How long after the plants start growing in plastic trays should I transplant them?

Thanks- Also any good vegetable garden websites for beginners? Thanks
Also my yard is just like a regular one right now. I haven’t tested my PH level yet but is this a good idea, To first rake up the grass/leaves where I want to plant my garden and then put the dirt into a bucket and mix it with the miracle grow and put it back until I decide to plant my plants?
Oh and what’s the best way to keep diseases and bugs away? I’ll be using an organic home made pepper spray for rabbits and stuff

Fishgutts asked:
I grow gigantic sunflowers, spinich and rhubarb in a small garden. As usual, bugs are eating away at the leaves. I live in the heat of Texas. I am looking to use an organic, homemade insecticide that will not go bad when I store it in the heat of my garage for the next season or the next season.

What have you all used? The easier the better.

Mrs.Eloff asked:
I am starting a garden this fall with berry bushes and leafy greens. I have been doing a bunch of reasearch because I have never had a garden before and some of my plants are prone to bugs and fungus. I want my garden to be as organic as possible so I don’t want chemical spray. Anyone know any good homemade concoctions I can make to help? Thanks =D

Sammah asked:
I am having a serious problem keeping bugs from eating away at my small garden in my backyard. I have tried marigolds to keep them and the bunnies away, but nothing seems to be working. Is there anything I can do that will be organic? I don’t want to put pesticides and such on my plants, it sounds gross.
