pesticides

Of course organic "solutions" are a miniscule part of the pesticide market. This could be good news indeed. As an organic gardener (in the South) with a large and diverse collection of plants, I have not used organic pesticides for the past several years. I can't remember the last time I used any fungus or bug-killing product. (I do use Sluggo for slugs.)  Get your soil in good shape, raise healthy plants, attract beneficials (at least 98% of the insect population) and get your garden in balance.  That's the gospel we ought to be preaching. 
 
I suspect organically-inclined gardeners have discovered what I have found.  Given opportunity, nature takes care of itself.  I also suspect that when organic gardeners do need solutions to garden problems, they are mixing up the potions themselves.
