All growing in a "moveable, raised bed" on my asphalt driveway!!!!

How do you keep insects away Organically? I live in Michigan & don't use chemicals inside or outside on lawn or garden...

I had to dig up the last of my red raspberries because I couldn't fight the Japanese beetles. Now they are starting on my blueberries. I live in rural Western New York, south of Buffalo. Any suggestions to stop these horrible pests?

Yes---"soapy water" IS too much work---and if you "kill them by squashing them--- it attracts MORE of them!!!" This " strong, Cedar water tea" actually gets RID of them!! Good Luck!!

Hi Irene!! I had a friend of mine ( who lives down there now )---mail me up a " stick"!!) YOU are lucky enough to live down there, so, I would call around to a few "garden stores", and see if they have any Dwarf Peach Trees started? ( if you can't locate a friend willing to hand you a "twig to soak & root"!!). Mine took years-ONLY- due to living in the harsh North east! They would die in the Winter!! I had to try a few different times ( starting with a new twig, each year!) If it "takes"--- you will get peaches in the second year!!!!
