is
covered in webs........they run from walls to any garden
plant................ggggrrrrrr. I don't want to exterminate them, but
I'd
love to discourage at least some of them. Any ideas??
Thanks from a web haired....

Just swat away the webs from where you do not like them if they are in
your way. They are harmless and highly beneficial in the garden (eat
lots of insects and get eaten by birds) and I do not know of any way
to deter them other than moving to an apartment without a garden.

You get spiders (and their webs) everywhere there are insects.
