Organic Vegetable Gardening
When you begin organic vegetable gardening the first step is to consider the size and location of the garden.

You want to make sure that it gets as much exposure to the sun as possible without being too exposed to other elements and weather conditions. The soil of the spot you are gardening should be well-drained and near a water supply. |
Organic Gardening Pest Control: What to Use?
There are various organic gardening pest control methods that you can use to help rid your garden of the different types of pests that may damage it. Which pest control method you use will depend on the type of pest you are trying to rid your garden of.
If you have different sized animals attacking your organic garden, but don’t want to harm them, you can use Havahart Traps. These are pest control products used for live-trapping animals. You can buy different sizes to meet the needs of your animal pest. They are easy to set up and safe for you and your children to be around (even your own animal pet friends). They work great!
If your pest problem is really big, such as deer, you will need a different form of organic gardening pest control.
What is an Organic Gardening Beetle?
The organic gardening beetle is also known as the eyed click beetle. It has two large false eyespots on its exoskeleton and when it feels threatened; it flips onto its back and clicks its thorax, causing it to jump up into the air a couple of inches. It keeps doing this acrobatic move until it feels safe. Organic gardeners should not fear the eyed click beetle. It poses no harm to humans or their organic gardens.
Instead, the organic gardening beetle is more interested in eating larvae of wireworms. The eyed click beetle spends most of its time in rotted stumps and logs.
