nice garden
Thanks for the info.
i bought it at a local feed store. You might also find it at tractor supply.
When using the DA, make sure to avoid breathing the dust. It’s bad for your
lungs.
AZAMAX is a great organic product that works for me.
All the links are below the video description. Click “show more”.
Good point. Thank you for mentioning that. I actually have never had a
problem but it is good to let people know.
Thank you so much. I’m convinced had one of Egypt’s plagues been stink
bugs, there would have been a whole lot more first-borns !
Lol…it “was” there yesterday till the bugs ate it. Enjoy watching the
progress.
I found BT, DE, Neem, Spinosad at Lowes. They seemed to be the best price
around. I shopped around various feed stores and garden centers and their
products seem $5-10 more. Lowes carries Greenlight and GardenSafe products.
what are your thoughts on tobacco? i hear that was a stand by for old time
homesteaders
Yeah, I read that there are certain plants you can grow that will attract
insects like Lady bugs in your yard and others that eat these pests. I
think Spearmint is one plant. But if I was you I would look up what they
look like so you do kill them by mistake. I have pictures of them in my
I-photo on my mac.
I’ve heard baby powder keeps ants away.
Please stop using Insecticide because that is what it is no matter how nice
they make it sound on the label, all you need to do is crush up 2 good size
bulbs of garlic, boil it in a pint of water,when it cools add to another 3
pints of water. Get a spray bottle and spray your plants with this galic
water,even spray the healthy ones. it will keep many pests away without
killing them and the veg will not smell of garlic after a couple of days
not to us humans anyway..Application of the spray should be repeated once
every 4-6 weeks during the summer season.
Happy veg growing from the UK.
how are you , If anyone else wants to grow all your own amazing healthy
organic fruit quick it’s worth trying – Banfan Incredible Organic Miracle
(do a search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it from my
friend – great!
Dave, where are you?? I THINK you went on a vacation but that was Weeks
ago. Haven’t seen any videos, or heard anything from you on youtube in a
while. concerned.
insect killer for plants
2 cups water
4 cloves garlic, smashed
4 cayenne peppers, including seeds
peel from one orange or lemon
1 teaspoon grated ginger, can use dried, ground ginger
1 teaspoon grated soap – not detergent—– put all together on the stove
for ca 20 min.
if the DE kills any insect, why would you need BT or Neem oil?
Good point. Thank you for mentioning that. I actually have never had a
