Common Pests and Diseases in NZ Gardens
As with all pests and diseases. Prevention is always the first and best line of attack.
Stressed out plants are more likely to be attacked. Keep your plants moist and well fed with nutrients in the soil. The best way to do this is with a thick mulch or compost, mulch will hold moisture in the soil as well as provide your soil with nutrients that your plants need.
Natural air flow is important for plant health. Airflow around and through each plant reduces the damp and still conditions that most pests and diseases prefer.
