How do you deal with insects eating your grows?

The three easiest ways:

1. provide ample habitat for predators of said insects 2. grow a surplus so there's enough for you and the bugs 3. use the partly-eaten produce in sauces, jams, stews and other meals where presentation doesn't matter

Netting mostly. Only downside is that these do not last forever and are made of plastics (PE, PEHD, PA, ...).
