Any suggestions for controlling insects on my tomato plants without using chemicals?

Any suggestions for controlling insects on my tomato plants without using chemicals?
Nim oil does a fair job for most bugs.





Plant some roses near buy, many critters will settle there, preferring the flowers to your tomatoes.





Blasting the plants with water can knock down many small insects, then lightly spray with soapy water, when the bugs come back they will not like the taste.





Best thing is to find out what exactly is causing the problems, then encourage bugs that like to eat your problem.
Reply:We have good luck planting basil and peppers close to the tomatoes, and, sprinkling Cinnamon and crushed red pepper seeds all around the ground.
