I was wondering if anyone knows household remedies for my outdoor plants.?

I have something eating my clematis's. I was told not to cut off the dead parts, is that true. How often should I add my miracle grow plant food?

I always cut off the dead parts. For the insect damage, spray with a solution of dish soap and water or dust with rotenone. I always read the directions on how often to use a product.
Reply:if it's really tiny, it's probably aphids. Try spritzing the leaves with a mild soap and water solution, the aphids won't stick to the leaves then.
