Every gardener knows the havoc insects and other pests can cause in the garden and home. Shop-bought products can control pests but are expensive, wasteful and often highly toxic. By using sprays, oils and powders derived from pest-repellent plants, you can keep garden and household pests at bay. Every plant is shown in full colour, with notes on cultivation and use.
Apart from an A-Z of Pest-repellent Plants, this new edition also includes many other organic solutions, from traps and barriers to sprays, oils, dusting powders and washes made from common household items like milk, coffee and bicarbonate of soda.
