permaculture

[trevor william johnson <john2116@msu.edu>]

I have a PC client that is having their lilacs demolished by the  
lilac leaf miner.  The plants are in shade (they dont like that) and  
the soil is not a fertile as they like.  Besides those  
observations...what is a natural predator of this moth or larva that  
i can attract to the garden with a planting.  OR  what would be an  
aromatic pest confuser that would repel the insects when they are  
trying to lay eggs?  My internet research as well as looking through  
gaias garden and edible forest gardens has not yielded any tangible  
answers.
