Any ideas for deterring foxes from digging up my veg beds? I've lost about 70% of everything but my tomato plants!
I found a Gray tree frog in amongst my rhubarb plants. It stayed there for about 3 weeks. Turns out, it found all the garden slugs and was enjoying the buffet!
Grasshoppers have eaten all the dill and parsley and pumpkin leaves and the flowers off the borage
Hi Huw another great helpful video, have you any advice on bean weevil, I know they aren't really a problem as they go for outer leaves, but every time I hoe I see them, for carrot fly I do grow resistafly varieties but also grow onions chives close by, that helps, Steve
Can you please advice how to treat early blight on tomato plants? We are in Boston, USA, 6b zone. Thank you!
Rodents, like voles, rats can taste hot chili powder. I used some in the spring around the holes, near any vegs they were going after. Just a sprinkle on any vegs will make them turn away. I think I found a female hole, was more lavish with the hot powder so the young would have trouble nursing, and she'd need to move them.
Monofilament ( clear fishing line) strung high above a garden fruit trees is a GREAT deterrent for birds. Place it close enough to deter but not so close together that it entangles them. http://animalrange.montana.edu/documents/extension/birds.pdf
some very useful information am going to be using the CD trick I do hope it works on wood pigeons .
Lmao! Oh Hew, was a little sad at having to listen to a commercial, until you flipped the hacker the bird. Totally unexpected and prompted a solid LOL!
Thanks for the info AND the laughs!
Sunchokes attracted gophers to my area…
I dig a shallow dish into my garden so it’s close to soil level, I fill it with water and dissolve a teaspoon of dried yeast in it. The nest morning it’s half full of slugs. I tried this because I didn’t want to waste beer so thought I’d try the yeast and it works
For strawberry protection I paint rocks to look like strawberries, then set them put a week or so before the first berries get ripe. Birds peck at them and figure it out right away. Keeps them almost entirely out of the crop.
The garden is looking fabulous Huw.
Local conditions vary too. For instance I’m in southern Australia and my Garlic got hammered by aphids/black fly last year, also red spider mite devastate Beans and Cucumbers in my garden.
I also avoid certain pest issues with TIMING. I can’t grow early Beans or Cucumbers because of spider mite but they are not affected if planted later in the season. Same with Brassicas and Cabbage Butterfly, I plant in the cool season when the butterflies are dormant and avoid the Spring/Summer.
Dude! That transition from the slug fence to the vpn and pest/ hackers. Smooth!
That was awesome, you briefly plugged in Mark's channel. Great info, I really enjoyed this video.
I think maybe you intended to link a video at the end about 7 ways to make healthy soil?
How to make pest hormone organic. Thanks master!
Did you really not know what cds were used for ?
My beets leaves are eaten by slugs and snails while the parsley and dill are decimated by aphids
that was the funniest product placement ever
Vraiment magnifique bravo
This spring, I had a pest completely devour my brassica roots. I suspected cabbage root fly but found absolutely nothing in the soil. It also demolished my garlic roots and onion roots. Again I found nothing in the soil.
Where I did discover root maggots, was in my daisy plant whose roots were also completely devoured. In 35 years of gardening, I’ve never seen such destruction in the garden with no apparent culprit.
Mij main pest are the jackdaws. They are too smart to be put off bij CD’s or even netting, if it is not 100 % watertight. They eat the peas an the broad beans. They pull up the young plants and eat the pods just before they are ready.
Your garden is so beautiful and diverse, it looks like you've achieved a nice balance. I hope to get there eventually.
