What are some things I can do to keep my plants from getting diseases, I don’t want to use any chemicals? And how do I keep vegetable eating insects out of my garden? I know there are some insects I can put in to eat the others, what can I plant to attract them?

O ya duh that makes sense. And yes I agree it’s worth it.
