How you
can help
Buy organic
or
pesticide-free produce
whenever possible.
Beware hidden
killers.
Some potting
composts contain Imida-
cloprid – often disguised
as ‘vine weevil protection’ – a
neonic insecticide that kills
bees and is highly toxic to
all insects and soil life.
Stop using
insecticides, especially
for ‘cosmetic’ gardening.
Use biological controls
instead. Probably the single
most important thing
you can do.
Let some of your
garden go wild
creating a safe-haven
for bees and other
insects – wasps will
eat your aphids!
