Be an organic gardener

Instead of using pesticides, attract wildlife to your garden to feed on pest species. For example, Californian poppies and marigolds will attract ladybirds and hoverflies which will feed on aphids. A small pile of logs will provide shelter for hedgehogs or frogs which will feed on slugs. Find out more from http://www.hdra.org.uk
