» Cottage_Garden - Integrated Pest Management IPM

In response to no more Diazinon sales posted by bebob51:
It's absolutely understandable. Thinking has changed a lot in recent years -- modern IPM or Integrated Pest Management principles direct gardeners to use the least toxic means to control pests and even suggest that sometimes damage can be tolerated if it is only cosmetic and does not threaten the life or usefulness of the plant.
Another couple of once widely used chemicals that are no longer sold for home garden use that one might find in the shed are Dursban and Lindane... seems like every year we find more safety reasons to restrict chemical use in the garden.
