One thing that can be done to cut down on bug problems is making the garden "bird friendly"... A bird bath alone will attract enough birds to make a dent in the insects...

We are fortunate in that we also have toads and lots of tree frogs... They eat the heck outta bugs... Now, tree frogs you can't get if you don't have the right conditions but most folks have toads and if Mr. Toad has a nice little toad house he will stay in or around your garden and be yer buddy, too... Turtles are also helpfull but they tend to be wanderers but I always stop fir 'um on the road and if it ain't too far from home take 'um home and put them in the garden... If it is too far I just assist them in crossing whatever road they are stuck on...

BTW, why did the turtle cross the road???

Nevermind...
