Do not get intimidated by the length of the list of potential pest insects in the vegetable garden!

In the first years of a new vegetable garden you might be pestered by 5 or 6 of these bad guys. As your garden soil gets more healthy and as you build the ecological balance that comes from using organic mulch and attracting songbirds, you will find that the number of pest insects each year is probably seldom more than 2 or 3.
