Stop Garden Pests

Get tips for identifying and controlling some of the most common insects and diseases that might attack your garden.

Aphids, Transporting Plants
 

Aphids

Aphids are little insects that usually appear in massive numbers. They attack new growth and suck the life from it, creating mottled, misshapen leaves. Sadly, aphids don't seem to discriminate much -- so watch for them on most plants.

The easiest, most organic way to stop aphids is to knock them off the plant with a stream of water from your garden hose.
