I don't consider myself that great of a gardener -- I'm just lucky that the place where I live has good soil and weather and feral cats who stop the littler animals from eating my produce. I don't use pesticides stronger than baking soda, salt, dishwashing detergent, and cooking oil. If I get "pests", such as aphids, that means my mini-ecosystem is trying to balance itself. I might spray some DIY aphid spray but other than that, I don't care. Speaking of "pests", there is a resident woodchuck who seems to be living under the shed. I couldn't care less. So far, he or she has only eaten one green tomato. You would think he or she would go for the raspberries, but nobody seems to be eating them except me! It's their loss...
