Keep them guessing

Our most important offense against insects and disease is crop rotation - that is - moving types of vegetables from one place to another each year.  That way, a bug that found the cabbages last year will have zucchini to work with this year -- and chances are that that won't be their cup of tea.  Insects that we see we just pick off, and a bit of soap water does the trick on most diseases.  Very simple and non-toxic - that's the way we like it.
