*Bug off : An organic guide to garden insect control ! *
Are you a garden enthusiast or a farm owner?
Are you a terrace gardener with two pots or 20?
Then this pocket guide will be perfect to assist you with your gardening!
I am Sumithra Srikant, founder of Aapti Gardening Solutions, Chennai. My journey with gardening started 20 years ago, when I started to grow vegetables for my children.
As a novice gardener, I had several issues dealing with pests in the garden. The neighbourhood garden helper suggested I use harsh chemicals to kill the pests, but I instead searched for more environmentally friendly methods to tackle pests.
Through many years of experience, I have learnt techniques to develop and maintain home gardens.
In collaboration with Anoop Kumar CP, a horticulture consultant and parasitological expert, I’ve put together a pocket guide that address the many challenges that I, and others like me, faced while growing plants.
This pocket guide showcases 23 useful and harmful insects that visit our gardens and farms, and solutions to manage them organically. The educational and interesting flash cards ( which are also waterproof) make this an ideal gift for plant lovers.
The glossary and chapter on organic elixirs and biological pest controllers has been thoughtfully placed right at the beginning, so you become familiar with the terms before you read the book.
Happy gardening!
