Finally, as your garden grows

you will want to repel any

garden pests so that your plants

can thrive without a pesky host.

The repellent you choose must

prevent the initial visitation

because once the pests arrive

and begin to feed, the battle is

soon lost. Repellents deter

pests from initially colonizing

plants, and sometimes they can

even drive pests away from

infested plants.
