It was not long before I discovered the culprits . . .GARDEN PESTS! 
Leading the charge were the slugs, followed by worms, caterpillars, birds, 
and snails . . . my work was truly cut out for me!  I knew that there was no 
way to totally eradicate all garden pests but I could not sit idle and just let 
them run rampant!



You will have to pick your battles and insects are one of the worst pests to have in your garden because they live under the soil, in old weeds or leaves, as well                                    as a number of other                                     locations.


TIP #1


The first thing you will want to do is remove old leaves, weeds, or any other
decaying matter that insects and diseases could be living on or in from your
yard.    

                


TIP #2


You will need to regularly turn over your garden soil and be sure to break apart any clumps of dirt so that you can eliminate the living spaces of any insects that might be hiding underground.

TIP #3


Dormant spray is yet another method of garden insect pest removal and is highly successful in keeping destructive insects and diseases under control. 
It considered to be best that you use dormant spray when your plants are  in a dormant state which is usually around February or early March.  It is 
imperative that you follow the correct instructions when using dormant spray for maximum effectiveness
