How to naturally get rid of insects
I was giving our garden some water and I spotted a little green Caterpillar chomping away on our veggies! I finished watering them and ran inside to find my ‘It’s Natural’ book by Alan Hayes (its a book about living by only using natural remedies)
Took a while to find it but here it is:

*Before using insecticide mix a little soft soap (green soap), or soapy water so it adheres to the plants.
