I really enjoyed this gardening website.
Have all of you seen it?

The gardener has an interesting approach to maintaining balance on an organic farm. He talks about a lot of the plants that my grandfather used to sow -- buckwheat, for example. I thought his approach to insects was very healthy.

1. "Good Bug Blend" must be how they encourage predatory insects to live nearby
Good Bug Blend planted next to peppers. Flowering is dill, daikon, alyssum, alfalfa and carrot. This is new to me. http://nojoquifarms.org/tour.php?tour=nature&id=14

2. Makes sense
For example, ladybugs are predators, a well known remedy against aphids. Very cool. Thanks, OP, for posting! :hi:
