Buggy Gardening Secrets

As I start a new gardening year of planning I wanted to post this to remind me and share with others how to keep pests out of the garden naturally.

This is a great video shared by the “Garden Girls” and one of them just happens to be my mom.

After watching the video, these are just a few of the quick notes I jotted down to keep handy. Because these ladies are also passionate about doTerra Essential oils like me, these are naturally oils used for these “recipes”.

CedarWood – Mix in Mulch, Kills Cucumber Beetles, Squash Bugs, etc. (Not on plant)

Rosemary – Misquitos, cabbage loopers, bean bugs, 

Meleluca – Misquitos

Thyme – Chiggers

Peppermint – Keeps you cool, and keeps ants, Squash borers, and mice away.
