Organic pest control - Prep Girl - 2 March 2012
Just found it, haven't tried it but worth giving it a go

Still think organic lead poisoning from a .22 air rifle is the best pest control

use washing up liquid on Asphids, get grease bands to stop pests climbing up the stems, copper wire around plants does the same thing, and beer traps for slugs. .22 air rifle for rabbits and squirrels!

Yeah they love a drop of beer! I'm still in to raised beds at the moment so some salt sprinkled takes care of the slugs, only grew a small amount last year but had no trouble at all with flies of any kind.

Best pest control I have ever found was to reclassify them as food. Then they die off when you try and grow them.

Thanks Prep Girl for this - I haven't tried any of these and try in my garden this year. I usually use certain flowers around certain veg - as the smell can be off putting to insects.
