All gardeners should use compos, and manure as much as possible The use of organic matter in garden soil improves its water- holding capacity and its ability to supply nutrients H ow ever, o rg a n ic materials alone won’t pro duce fertile garden soil in a single gardening season It takes time During the firs, year, only 50 percent or so of the nutrients in manure are available to plants The rate d iffe rs w ith p la nt and manure types Generally, the nutrients in poultry manure are more readily available to plants than nutrients in other types of manure Gardeners should not count on jus, one ,y pe of fer tilizer to supply all the nutrients tha, vegetable plants need The three prim ary nutrients plants need, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, are seldom all contained in one type of comm ercial organic fer tilizer These fertilizers in clude blood meal, rock phosphate and wood ashes There are several cultural practices organic gardeners can use to control insects, although none are foolproof All require extra labor and, if practiced diligently, can pay off with a good harvest ( rops that are especially susceptible to insect attack should be avoided by organic gardeners Organic garden mg is difficult for cole crops, such as ra d ish e s, cauliflower, cabbage, broc coli and turnips, and for root crops, such as potatoes and carrots Vegetable crops such as beans, peas, chard, spinach, squash and cucumbers are more insect-tolerant Insect infestations can be isolated and insect damage reduced by interplanting several crops in the same row, rather than having a solid block of the same crop Insects can be handpicked and destroyed in sm all gardens Some insects can be tem porarily washed off garden plants with a strong stream of water from a garden hose Placing collars of stiff paper around the stems of tomato plants will help pro tect them against tomato cutworms The collar should extend one meh below and two inches above the soil sur face. Square pieces of heavy cardboard placed on the ground around the bases of cabbage plants help protect them against root maggots ( ’loth or papers hoods can be placid over young plants to ward off early insect a t tacks They w ill also preserve hea, and prevent wind and hail damage to the plants Good sanitation may be the most important aspec t of organic gardening Keeping the garden clear of debris helps prevent both insect in festations and outbreaks of fungus diseases which affect plants Many garden insects over winter in plan, debris Spade under old plants, such as spinach, lettuce and cab bage, during the summer, or add them to the compos, pile. Dispose of discarded vegetables im m e d ia te ly because insect pests will continue to breed in them As soon as a garden plant is no longer producing, spade it under or put it in the compost pile Remove weeds and other unwanted plants from the garden whenever they appear The often har bor many insect pests, par ticularly aphids There are a number of n a tu ra lly -d e riv e d insec ticides which are available Control of cabbage worms can be aided through use of the bacterial insecticide, bacillus thuringiensis, which is no, harmful to humans, wildlife or other insects. Trade names include Dipel and Thuricide Pyrethin and rotenone are two other effective natural insecticides Both can be us ed s a fe ly ju s t before harvesting the crop and neither is toxic to warm blooded animals. Rotenone k ills a wide range of insects, such as caterpillars, aphids and cer tain beetles It is considered the best general purpose in s e c tic id e a v a ila b le to organic gardeners. Biological controls are lim ited in effectiveness, ladybugs and praying man- lises may do some good, but no, for an extended period of HW » I t ( S i o n . I d B n While Supply Lasts-so hurry!
