I really enjoyed this gardening website. |

Have all of you seen it? The gardener has an interesting approach to maintaining balance on an organic farm. He talks about a lot of the plants that my grandfather used to sow -- buckwheat, for example. I thought his approach to insects was very healthy. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl= http://nojoquifarms.org/tour.php%3Ftour%3Dnature%26id%3D13&h=338&w=450&sz=90&hl=en&start=17&tbnid=pSR_MNLcUkpbgM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcilantro%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

1. "Good Bug Blend" must be how they encourage predatory insects to live nearby |

Good Bug Blend planted next to peppers. Flowering is dill, daikon, alyssum, alfalfa and carrot. This is new to me. http://nojoquifarms.org/tour.php?tour=nature&id=14

For example, ladybugs are predators, a well known remedy against aphids. Very cool. Thanks, OP, for posting! :hi:
