        Book 3 of the Hungry Garden series talks about the other hungry species dwelling in your garden – insects! Whether they're eating your plants – or eating the insects that are eating your plants – insects are fascinating to learn about, even the garden-wreckers. Learn to observe what lives on your roses, what's laying eggs on the underside of your tomato leaves, and what insects are lying in ambush for pests. This book will help you tell the helpful bugs from the harmful ones, and walk you through ways to encourage beneficial insects while discouraging the pests and helping you to limit pest damage. This volume covers a plethora of beneficial insects, including damselflies, lacewings, ladybugs, wheel bugs and assassin bugs, praying mantis, big-eyed bugs, wasps, cicada killers, and leaf-cutter bees. It also has a rouge's gallery of pest insects: mealybugs, whiteflies, scale, stink bugs, fungus gnats, flea beetles, tomato hornworms, aphids, spotted cucumber beetles, spider mites, thrips, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, grasshoppers, and emerald ash borers. We also have ways you can control pests without harmful chemicals and sprays, and ways to attract your insect friends, create a habitat for beneficial insects, and make them happy in your garden. Beneficial and Pest Insects is a little handy-dandy manual that walks you through the pest insects that might be in your garden and the beneficial insects that you would like to see more of. Focusing on a plant-positive approach – in which the health of the plants is considered over the random eradication of random insects – this book is a naturalist's/gardener's look at the fascinating and busy world of insects in the garden.

      Learn how to grow fresh, organic vegetables, fruits, and greens in your own home -- and using materials that you already have that are cheap. Gardening is an enjoyable hobby and art, but not everybody has land available to them. You can still enjoy fresh, healthy produce that you've grown for just a few dollars if you have a kitchen window, or an empty bookshelf, and a few well-placed grow lights. Now you can make a little salad, or use fresh herbs to liven up your meal. A few minutes a day, and you can have sprouts and microgreens for your salad, a bowl of radishes to snack on, and other delights. Rosefiend Cordell, a former horticulturist turned gardening writer, will guide you gently but firmly through the wild world of indoor gardening. In this book you will find:  An introduction to growing food plants indoors, by making a space for them, choosing containers and potting mix. A whole chapter is dedicated to grow lights, as well as common pests and diseases.   A guide to all the common ways to grow indoor plants -- sprouts, microgreens, herbs -- as well as a guide to the uncommon indoor crops, including peas, tomatoes, and strawberries. For those, we will also cover hand-pollination, unless you have a trained honeybee living in your house to do the pollination for you! All written to encourage you.    "But I always kill my plants." Look, I'm a professional, and believe me, I've killed more plants than you have! But that was how I -- and many other horticulturists like me -- learned how to take care of plants. Part of growing plants is losing plants, and that's okay. You learn from your mistakes, and you grow, and eventually so do your plants. Life ain't a cover of Home Beautiful -- it's messier and sometimes it breaks your heart, but there's so much to be learned from it. And if you have some pretty little food plants in your kitchen under a grow lamp, it's even better. Filled with a lots of do-it-yourself in-home gardening information, Indoor Gardening is your gateway to this exciting new world of practical (and tasty) crops.
