anything from Safer brand, also zero tolerance is farely decent. in my area caterpilars and mites are biggest worry, so i keep lady bugs in the area and spray with caterpilar killer from Safer. the mites in the area are immune to quite a few different products so i use the lady bugs which keeps them in check pretty nicely, in emergency i switch between a few different products so they dont have a chance to get a strong foothold

I use Marigolds for most of them:
[h=3]Pest Control[/h]Marigold's strong odor works to repel most insects, making the ancient flowering herbal a natural insect repellent. Marigolds repel mosquitoes, as well as aphids and other insects that can attack vegetable plants. One thing to keep in mind. though, is that not all insects stay away. In dry, hot weather, spider mites can kill marigolds. Grasshoppers also are oblivious to the pungent odor that other insects avoid.
[h=3]Garden pest control[/h]Many vegetable farmers consider the marigold a "companion" plant and will often plant it among vegetables because of its natural insect repellent qualities. The marigold can be planted to edge a vegetable garden, or planted among vegetables. If you have a container garden in your patio or yard consider adding a small marigold plant along with the vegetables or other flowers. Marigold oil can be found in many commercially made organic pest repellents.

Grandpa has the right of it. I use many plants As repelants as well as sacrificial plants as certain insects prefer them to my other crop.

i had plans to do something like that. but my only problems were snails and slugs. used water and yeast but im gonna use slug bait this year. figured onions garlic n various herbs would be to stinky on top of dankness. might get ravaged by poachers or starving deer.

yea i bought slugout, 2.75% metaldehyde. doesnt give me much info about it besides sprinkle it around. i was looking for the stuff that slugs find more tasty than their usual meal (our MJ) so they munch on the pellets then burrow into the ground and die of gut rot. so i guess i got the right stuff. got rid of the starving slugs problem, so i hope.

If you can keep bare dirt around your plants you'll have a lot less insects and you'll have 0 snails / slugs they won't motor over dry ads dirt it'd suck em' dry.

this is what i use on my tomatoes:
3 cups ordinary water
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
a generous handful of peppermint leaves and stems, loosely chopped
2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper flakes (the kind one uses on pizza)
simmer this mixture on the stove top for 10 minutes
place a disposable cloth (cheesecloth, a piece of torn up T-shirt, an old wool sock etc) in a strainer over a large bowl. pour the admittedly foul smelling mixture through the cloth and strainer. let it drain and cool.
discard the cloth and it's contents, pour the cooled liquid into a 1 quart sprayer. add 2 tablespoons of ordinary dish washing liquid (not the stuff for automatic dishwashers, use palmolive or whatnot, i prefer the biodegradable organic crap that is useless for washing dishes) swirl until mixxed (if you shake it youll have to wait for the bubbles to subside) spray only in well ventilated areas, with a dust mask and eye protection (this shit is SPICY) aphids, slugs snails whiteflies etc.. all hate this stuff like the plague (get some in your eyes and youll feel their pain) but it rinses off with plain water, wont hurt your plants, or soil. i even use it with no ill effects on my salad greens (just wash them first) and kitchen herbs. do NOT spray your flowering plants with this. the dishsoap and pepper oils will strip your trichomes off, and leave nuggs that would taste like spoiled taco sauce. for flowering plants, LADYBUGS!!!! or for the more adventurous. lacewing flies. you can find them for sale worldwide on amazon, ebay and several garden stores. theres also a type of snail that doesnt eat plants, instead it eats OTHER SNAILS!!! Slowest episode of Wild Kingdom EVER!
