I pour house vinegar directly on the weeds but I wouldn’t get any near flowers or veggies. It really worked for me:) You can get nematode’s from a garden catalog or store. They take care of the bugs. They aren’t really toads but they are a living microscopic sort of thing ..they come in a packet and you mix with water. Of course check the directions. Also the real ladybugs eat other bugs . The red ones not the tan or rustybroyn ones. Those you can also get at a garden center or by mail believe it or not:)

Safers Soap kills probably 80% of insects. sticky yellow pads trap the small ones and good old weed pulling gets rid of weeds. Lots of work to be organic.

Hi there. Buy a sprayer. Mix 1 gallon white vinegar,1 cup of salt and 2 tablespoons of dish washing liquid. Apply this to the weeds. The weeds will die but it may take 3 applications. Saturate them well. Plant a week later. Work in your garden every day and pull weeds as they come. Natural bug control depends on the bug.http://www.ghorganics.com/page9.html This is a great site that will come in handy. Have a great garden.
