Tortoise/garden questions
Greetings all,
This last 3-4 months I built a tortoise run for my 2 sulcatas.
They are about 8 inches and I've had them since they were pups.
It's 95 feet by 6 feet and has a retaining wall/walls and has a fence on the boarders and has a cool tort hutch.
It also has my veggie garden in it.
Question is...
My garden has been infested with ants/aphids/horned worms and every kind other kind of crap parasite known to man.
I just order 4,500 lady bugs I will drop in it.
Thinking of spreading that out over 4 weeks.
I don't want Chems in my yard.
Next year I'd like to add a wad of praying mantises to the yard (yard is big) but am afraid they will hurt my bees.
Any thoughts on how to keep my area bug free and totally organic?
This really means a lot to me so I'd dig any help.
Thanks.
Andy
PS if anybody could help me post some pics that would be really cool.
Thanks again.
