Write two paragraphs describing what trap cropping is in gardening.
Some gardeners use a strategy called trap cropping to keep pests away from their plants. Grow something that pests prefer at a short distance from the veggies you want to protect. The insects will typically feed primarily on the trap crop and leave your precious tomatoes unharmed.
Once the trap plant is full of bugs, remove the whole plant and seal it in a plastic bag. Immediately dispose of it in a lidded outdoor garbage container. Or, place the bag in the hot sun for several days to kill all the insects inside, then add the plant material to your compost pile.
