To stop polluting our natural world with killer chemicals, gardeners have to know the good bugs from the bad, and how to effectively deal with the latter without harming the former. That’s where this book steps up with the latest effective information. It reveals the fascinating scope of which denizens are living among your plants and discusses assorted methods to encourage more of nature’s allies, who will, in turn, help eliminate the foes, and create a vital and sustainable balance. 

From Mary-Kate's list on garden books to save the planet.

This book really dives deep into organic pest controls. Susan begins by talking about the idea of Integrated Pest Management and spells out the approach and benefits for the garden and gardener. Then she dives into profiles of more than 30 common insect pests and their controls. She also profiles the good guys too, highlighting beneficial insects. What I like is the section on common organic pest controls and how to properly use them. There's even a section on making traps and barriers to physically keep insects away from your plants.
