Answer: Here are a few natural pest control methods:

  • Grasshoppers: Use diatomaceous earth around plants or attract birds to help control their population.
  • Squash Borers and Plum Curculio: Apply Surround Kaolin Clay to deter these pests by creating a protective barrier on plant surfaces.
  • Spider Mites: Neem oil or insecticidal soap is effective. Increase humidity around plants, as mites thrive in dry conditions.
  • Cabbage Worms: Use BT spray for organic protection against cabbage worms and other soft-bodied insects for all your brassica plants like broccoli, cabbage, kale, and more.

We recommend growing with a Garden Cover, row cover, or bird netting to protect again larger animals and birds.
