Steve's bugs

Steve writes,----- however, and I never outgrew a fascination with "bugs"
so debugging the garden is "fun".  Except for cabbage root maggot and
the ever-present slug, however, the garden mostly debugs itself.  Which
means I can watch the ladybugs eat the aphids and asparagus beetle
larvae, or my other hard-working friends: the green lacewing, the
trichogramma, the rove beetle, the assasin bug and the yellow jacket,
all of whom contribute to my garden pest patrol.  There I go with that
fascination with "bugs" again.  Sorry.  ;-)
===========================================
Wow, Steve, this really sounds like fun. Seriously.  Can you recommend
any books that can educate me in this area.  I especially like the idea
of the garden de-bugging itself, and if it puts on a floor show at the
same time, so much the better.  I have read in the catalogs about various
bugs for sale.  Do they come back every year by themselves, or do you
have to buy new bugs every year?
     Remember, my sig says that I am cheap and lazy,  not good or
knowledgeable.
     I feel that this may be one area that I could really get into.  Of
course my neighbors already think that I am nuts, so sitting out in the
garden, checking out the bugs wouldn't seem inappropriate at all.
     I just read you next post about fertilizer.  YOU ARE MY IDOL!!!!!!  
And all I thought I had to do was stick some Miracle Gro inline with my
soaker hoses.  
    The people on this list are great.  The expertise is awesome! 
Because I am not a very "involved" gardener I feel I have found a place
like no other to answer my questions.  I would't know where else to turn
now.  I'm sure I will be come a much better gardener just by listening in
on everybody else.
     
     Stan.     The cheap and lazy gardener.
