Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi, 

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to the original pest post, but I
would like to ask if anyone has a recommendation for a good overall book on
garden pests and organic ways of getting rid of them. I want to avoid
chemicals at all costs.  

Last night when I was out surveying the garden I noticed a ton of what
appeared to be baby flies bouncing around the garden. They were hopping
like fleas but were much bigger. Any ideas on this would be appreciated. 

Thanks to everyone so far that has offered previous advice. I'm glad I
found this list.
