Notes on Natural Pest Control for an Organic Garden

Discussion:
Researching information for a Rosemary bush (Huntington Carpet) I purchased today I found an interesting table. This is not the complete table. This table lists only those plants that affect pest and the names of those pests.

Also I've written an article on Insectary Plants for the Wikipedia.

Please know there are additional notes I'm not listing. Research any plants you intend to use.
