You will need to decide whether you want to handle this problem in an organic or chemical manner. Regardless of which method you choose there are some important things to know about gardening in general before you begin. Be very careful when choosing plants to put in your garden. The plants should be healthy looking without a lot of dead leaves or signs of disease. The nursery that you purchase your plants from is very important too.
Some nurseries take much better care of the young plants than others do.
If you enter a nursery and notice that a lot of the plants are wilted and sickly, find another nursery. Healthy plants will always do better than weak, sickly plants. Keeping the garden area neat and free from debris is also very important. Trim away all the brush and weeds from around the garden area. Pests will live and breed in weed covered areas.
