Post #1407499

I just noticed this morning that a few of the basil leaves have small holes, like some bugs ate them.
What can I do so no bugs will eat them? (I couldn't find any insects in the container, but I might have missed them.) I didn't have this trouble last year, but then I moved this spring so that is probably why.

So far, my sweet basil has been grown organic so some organic remedy would be great (maybe there is something I can plant next to it to deter the bugs? Some organic solution I can use to repel bugs?) but if not, I will consider something else.

Thanks a bunch!
