Fellow lodgers in the garden

Dividing the animal inhabitants in the garden into noxious and beneficial creatures is arbitrarily chosen by men in contradiction to the natural balance with an important part for every organism.
Therefore, a beneficial creature like the ladybird can only exist with leaf lice in sufficient numbers for nourishing.

By the way, the relative result of this classification is shown by the fact that the beneficial earwig nourishing on lice, at once turns noxious when nourishing on ripe fruit because of no animal nourishment.

In the real natural garden therefore have to exist both types – beneficial and noxious creatures. Only this way an uncontrolled proliferation of these visitors may be hampered with lasting effect.

No use of pesticides is the central means in this struggle.
