editor's note

Pages 17-22 of this booklet deal with disease and insect prevention.

earthly pursuits recommends natural and organic disease and pest control. I have included the sections of the booklet that offer safe solutions and have omitted the sections that advocate chemical/toxic solutions. I have also listed several resources for more information on natural, organic Integrated Pest Management.

I apologize for not including the pages as part of this historical document but I cannot in good conscience publish methods so totally against my beliefs.

Page 18 omitted

earthly pursuits' recommendations for more information about alternative disease and insect prevention and control:

Controlling Pests Ecologically by Dr. Stuart B. Hill, McGill University, Canada
An interesting paper that talks about deep Integrated Pest Management vs. a shallow chemical approach to controlling pest.

Common Garden Pests
A database of insects with a drawing, description, the damage they do and natural, organic methods of control.

Common Sense Pest Control
Information About Pesticides, Alternative Pest Control Methods, Less Toxic Steps, Home Brewed Pest Control. This is specific to Broward County, Florida but has good information for any location.

also see Books - Organic Gardening

"Carrots Love Tomatoes" is a good reference for companion planting - which plants like to be planted closer to each other and may help provide natural pest prevention and which plants do not like each other.
