One thing that makes even gardeners who are very serious about organic gardening reach for pesticides, is  insects eating their plants.  In order to defend plants against these types of insects is to take preventative measures. You need to make sure your plants are healthy and have not become too dry or had too much water.  Insects usually attack unhealthy plants as they have no defence.  A healthy plant can usually outgrow and survive minor insect damage.  It is a good idea to keep a variety of plant types so that you can minimize the damage that these sort of insects can cause.

Perhaps the best way to defend against insects is to make your garden enticing to insect predators, such as ladybugs, birds, frogs, and lizards.  You can do this by keeping a water source nearby or by growing plants that attract insects who feed on nectar.  Other ideas are sticky traps, barriers, and plant collars.  There are some household items that prevent against insects too, like insecticidal soaps, garlic, and hot pepper.

The following e-books are really great for information on all aspects of organic gardening. I have also added a book on composting - if you are going to do organic gardening properly then it is vital that you are informed about composting naturally and it is cost effective.

Another tip for those of you about to get your garden together and create a cost effective organic garden is to think about 'compost'.  This is so important when developing your garden and using the right compost will even make a difference to how your vegetables taste.  When I lived in England I grew all of my vegetables organically and had some amazing results - maybe I should write my own book!!  Now staying on the subject of compost, what I did in England was to have a worm farm, this is the way to get the most amazing compost broken down quickly and effectively.  It was incredible to see the results and how productive my worms were, the compost was wonderful and worked brilliantly on the garden.  It is easy to do and has amazing results.  I have managed to track down a couple of very interesting contacts for a worm farms.
