How to have a garden without pests?

Garden in spring

Every gardener or gardener wants to be able to enjoy a healthy garden, free of pests. Achieving it is not really difficult since you only have to take into account a series of things so that each of the elements that make up our particular paradise looks and is well, in the right place.

So let's know how to have a garden without pests spending the minimum 😉.

Acquire resistant plants

To have a healthy garden it is important choose native species or those that grow in the same conditions as them. These are the plants with which we will not have any problem, since from the second year they can take care of themselves practically.

To know what they are, it will be enough to visit a botanical garden that is close to where we live, or, if we can, take a look at the gardens that are in the neighborhood.

Take care of the plants

We know, it may seem very obvious. But caring for plants is more than watering. If we want to have a beautiful and pest-free garden we will have to water it when you need it, no more no less, pay it from time to time with manure o humus, and prune those plants that need it in autumn or late winter.

In addition, we will have to inspect them at least once a week in spring and summer to detect pests or diseases.

Prevent pests with natural products

El neem oil, potassium soap, paraphrine oil and insecticidal oil are some of the natural products that we can find in nurseries. They are very effective both in preventing pests and in eliminating those that have not yet spread too much.

Still, we can always make our own remedies, or even plant repellent plants, such as the calendula, sage, Brown, honeysuckle or mint.
