Attracting Beneficial Bugs to your garden is an ecosystem based approach to managing pests in your garden. Written by a professed past insecticide user turned bug-lover, this book is written with humor and a down-to-earth approach. There is a lot of great information in here, especially about plant and bug communication that will hopefully convince people that they never have to use an insecticide again. As author Jessica Walliser says "It is about encouraging the beneficial ones in hopes of mitigating the pesky ones."
