natures own pesticide

I'm not sure where to place this but i was watching an episode of "its not easy being green" (BBC2)

And
someone mentioned frogs used to fight bugs, after searching a bit on
the internet iv come to understand that there is a lot to benefit from
having frogs in your garden/fields. they eat bugs, but not your crops,
they are fairlylight, and wont wreck to much havoc even when your
plants are young (even less of a problem if they start of their life in
pottes indoors) also most frogs arent poisinous and those that are, do
not poisen your fields in the same way that pesticides do.

 

a few usefull links to prove my point =)

Cool, thanks for the research! I found a frog skeleton in between the corrugated tin walls of the greenhouse while we we're building the workshop.

Also I think this would go under the "Open Source Agroecology (OSA)" which includes all the agriculture/permaculture stuff.

Raising frogs could also benefit the environment. Would be good know which frogs are indiginous to a given area, and to raise and cultivate those. I attract bats to my backyard for the same reason (putple martins are also good)

Good point Sam! This would be part of restoring local ecosystems to make survival easy.

Ive read keeping a breeding flock of bats on your land will keep all the main bugs in order. The large bother you type hahahah..
