Keeping the good bugs in and the bad bugs out
As we are an organic garden we have a few ways to keep the good bugs in and the bad bugs out!
One of those ways is by planting plants that attract beneficial insects.
The main purpose of beneficial insects is to aid in pollination and pest control. Having lots of diversity helps and plants that flower at different times of the year for the bees.
One of our favourites is Angelica which is bi-annual and self-seeds around the garden, some others are-
- Calendula
- Marigold
- Passionfruit Marigold
- Chamomile
- Cosmos
- Feverfew
Umbel shaped flowers are particularly good at drawing in the hover flies and other beneficial pest
- Angelica
- Dill
- Fennel
- Allium flowers
