The three main pests in my urban garden are rats, insects, and neighbours. :) The first two years I grew food I killed almost 20 rats. The rats are not going anywhere so I had to change what I grow: * I hang the strawberries * I grow tall peas now instead of short ones * I no longer grow carrots or beats * I spread chili powder around the tomatoes For insects: * Raised garden beds to reduce slugs * Flowers that attract aphids to attract lady bugs * Umbellifer flowers to attract beneficial wasps For neighbours, I haven't done anything yet. I may net the fruit trees.
