Preventing Garden Pests From Overtaking Your Garden

Garden pests can devour the growing plants in your garden. Some of these pests will eat everything, even the roots in the soil. There are preventative measures you can take to stop these pests eating all your hard work.

If you have squirrels and birds feeding on your garden produce, then you can place feeders away from the garden, somewhere else in your yard, high up on trees, for them to feed to their hearts content. You may even place a bird bath underneath the trees, to make the areas near the feeders as hospitable as possible, to keep them away from your garden.

Placing mulch on the soil surrounding growing vegetable plants, will help prevent snails, slugs and even rodents from reaching the plants in your garden. Taking these measures will help prevent garden pests overtaking your garden.

As you can see, there are many ways to keep pests out of your garden, so that you are rewarded with produce for your effort.
