We're Being Attacked!

The Green Team's community garden is getting a sour taste of nature, if its not swallowtail caterpillars on our parsley, its hornworms and grasshoppers on our tomatoes! Because the Green Team would like to keep the garden free of artificial insecticides/herbicides we are going to use the idea that the local greenhouse operator gave us a while back: attack bad bugs with good bugs! We are going to use the harmless and tiny Braconid wasp, which is a natural parasite to the hornworm, to help get the population under check! This wasp will help with other pests as well!!

In the future, we are also going to plant dill, parsley, fennel, and cilantro close to our tomatoes in order to curb the hornworm population! If you have any other ideas, please let us know!!
