something is eating the leafs in my garden. I thought it was ants, because I do see a lot of black ants, but I can’t see anything really on the plant and eating it. The cucumber plant has barely any leafs left on it and my pumkin plant is getting just as bad. Does anyone have any advice on what I can use to rid my vegetable garden of pests? HELP!

I live in northern Sacramento County and it is sprayed nightly for west nile virus. I have a substantial vegetable garden, and I wonder about any side effects the spraying does has on my garden. I hose it down every morning.

I am starting a vegetable garden. I have noticed from having house plants that I have a high salt content in my water. Will that be a problem in the garden? What can I do to either fix the problem or something I can mix into the soil to counteract the effects.

I live on the third floor of an apartment building and something keeps eating my pumpkin plants. I have tried spraying the plants with pepper, but they just dig up the plants and eat the roots. I tried fencing the planters with plastic garden wire, but they chewed through and at the plants. The planters are too big to bring in the house every night; any suggestions?

I have a small garden (vegetables and flowers) around perimeter of my house. Often see it in the fertilizer sections of stores. Don’t understand the concept of how it is useful in gardening. Also, any ideas on how to deter bugs from plants?
