This is a brief but excellent introduction to the topic. Although short, it's full of hundreds of tips and pieces of information on how to control various pests in your garden. Knowing a little about entomology helps, but isn't necessary. But a lot of the control comes down to using a weak solution of soap or lime to spray directly on the pests. This doesn't harm the plants, apparently, but many insect pests are susceptible to it. And there are many other such tips and methods discussed in the book. Some plants, such as marigolds, interestingly, can be planted also to control certain infestations since their roots secret a substance that is toxic to certain pests. Overall an interesing, practical, and informative little guide on the subject.
