I want to keep the garden organic and chemical free. How can I make a pesticide thats organic and natural which wont kill my plants?

Thanks so much! I wouldn't buy one because I don't know what's in them.

Have a look at the link below we have lots of ideas on this very informative Forum I am on..

small outbreaks can normally be controlled by hand (no pesticides at all). large caterpillar outbreaks can be easily treated with dipel or success, aphids with a squirt of water or larger outbreaks with a small spray of neem oil. Personally I dont like pyrethrum, it is broad spectrum and can upset the balance of an organic garden more than is usually necessary, it's better to target each pest problem individually.

If you want to grow organically, then the "less is more" approach works very well. The more you use pesticides of any kind, the more you upset the natural balance and the more you need to rely on the pesticides.
