Tags: Pesticides, chemicals, Pesticide alternatives, organic gardening
When used incorrectly, pesticides can pollute water. They also kill beneficial as well as harmful insects. Natural alternatives prevent both of these events from occurring and save you money. Consider using plants that naturally repel insects. These plants have their own chemical defense systems, and when planted among flowers and vegetables, they help keep unwanted insects away. The list below contains a partial list of nature's alternatives. Pest /Plant Repellent
