Keeping your urban planter boxes free from pests is key to a thriving garden. Start with healthy soil and proper plant spacing to discourage infestations. Physical barriers are highly effective; use fine mesh or row covers to block insects from reaching your plants. Copper tape around the planter's rim can deter slugs and snails. Encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings, which are natural predators to common pests. Companion planting is a powerful tool. Grow strong-smelling herbs like basil, rosemary, or mint alongside your vegetables to confuse and repel unwanted insects. For a direct approach, create a simple, organic spray by mixing a few drops of mild dish soap with water in a spray bottle. Apply it directly to the leaves to tackle aphids and mites. Regularly inspect the undersides of leaves for early signs of trouble. By combining these proactive, natural methods, you can enjoy a healthy, productive urban garden with minimal pest interference.
