Very occassionally we may use a certified organic product or a natural product like hot pepper spray. Most often we use an IPM system including planting lure crops, interplanting, heavy rotation, not planting to much of one thing right next to each other, and feild hygine(pulling the plants at the end of the season.) If we spray we risk also harming all our helpful insects, like preying mantises and lady bugs, so we do it as seldom as possible (for example we did not spray for pests at all in 2007). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your commentsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
