Question:

Are there any organic pesticides for use in home gardens?

I have a relatively small garden and I would like to take take care of the pests using an organic treatment. Any suggestions for DIY remedies, or commercial products?

Answer:

I too have a small garden. I have stopped using pesticides. When there is a really bad infestation of greenfly or those grey/black larva that hide under the cherry leaves etc I hose them off with water (A garden sprayer that takes about 5 litres, can be pumped up to a reasonable pressure and has a shoulder strap so it is easily transportable) If it is really bad I spray them with ecological soap mixed with water. But strange to say that since stopping the use of pesticides a natural balance of predatory insects seems to have become established, and I have no real problems anymore. I admit to using stuff called Bordeaux mixture on my roses - a fungicide.
