Dec 19 Virtual Series: Controlling Pests Organically If you have made the decision to go organic in your garden, you will not want to miss this webinar. Organic and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) go hand in hand, however just because the pesticide is on the organic list, doesn't make it safe for all living things. Learn about both the pros and cons and how to choose wisely. Gain insight on why pests target your plants and how IPM is a must for an organic grower. In addition, learn what makes a pesticide organic, the benefits to that and some of the drawbacks in treatment. You will also learn about some of the more common garden pests and how to treat for them organically.

Lisa Klein walks you through the process and offers Q&A afterwards for more assistance.
