Title: Australian Plants Online

Get the good bugs to help you fight the bad bugs in your garden. Good bugs (aka Beneficial Insects) help to control leaf chewing insects by making a meal out of them. While the good guys are moving about the garden eating mites, aphids and scale, they're also doing the important job of pollinating our plants. Choose a seed mix of bug-friendly plants to lure in lace wings, ladybirds, hoverflies and bees. Or try the natural repellant products. Plant native shrubs for habitat A few of our rare butterflies only feed on a small number of local native plants; with increased development and construction, these plants are disappearing in the wild. Help native fauna find a safe haven in your garden. These plants are essential for beneficial insects to feed on; and many have attractive flowers or fragrant leaves for us to enjoy. Plant them separately, or in a mix of herbs and cover crops. You can find seeds for many of these here. | Website |
