Home Tips : Non-toxic pest control
The key to non-toxic pest control is firstly understanding that if you are not going to use chemicals you will always have a certain population of pests in your garden. The trick is to keep the populations of these pests at such a level that they do little or no damage.
Man-made chemicals do the trick of immediately removing pests from your garden. Unfortunately, few are selective enough to have no impact on other animals which either feed on the plants or on the pests themselves. Also, by totally removing one pest, you might be removing the food source of a more valuable predator.
So, how to control the populations of the pests? As with most problems if we look closely enough, Mother Nature has put the answers right in front of our noses.

Garden : Guide to container gardening
Most salad greens, nearly all herbs, and many flowers and vegetables thrive in containers provided they’re filled with enriched soil and large enough to accommodate stretching roots.
1. Start the seed in flats or small plastic pots. Used pots need a scrub and dip in a 10-percent-bleach solution.
2. Dampen your mix thoroughly before sowing seed. Drainage is of utmost importance in container gardening, so use a growing medium that drains well. Prepare containers by filling them with a seed-starting mix, or make your own by combining equal parts sphagnum peat with perlite or vermiculite.
3. Place two or three seeds in each pot or make rows in a flat. Seeds planted in rows, rather than scattered, have fewer problems after germination because of improved air circulation.
4. Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of dampened potting mix, and cover germinating flats with a plastic dome or plastic wrap to preserve moisture. Most seeds germinate in a warm dark place, so a heat mat is very useful but not absolutely necessary for germinating seed.
