all my vegetables are coming up now,and here come the pests.my garden bean leaves are slowly getting munched,looks to me to be some sort of tiny fly.and the ants seem to have a path straight across my garden.north to south.tried the ecco friendly home defense,states its plant oils,but 98% other ingredients-not named.well it deters ants for the day,but always a new group comes through.they are different species day by day.they do not seem to be hassling the plants(cucumbers,tomato,bellpeper,lettuce,corn, and cilantro)the soil here in az is terrible,but I mixed with sand,and fertalizer.all my plants are up now from seed.marigolds is the only flower i planted and they are just starting,as i was told most pests do not come around,due to smell I assume.well enjoy everyone-may you all have a bountiful year.
