Ken, I would add worm castings whenever you can to the soil (surface during the growing season) to increase the soil biology so they can help your plants.
@@regenerativegardeningwithpatti i do, i use to have a commercial operation, i read that stressed plants put out a phermone that atracts aphids, its always the piri that get aphids
@@kenbirkin7753 I have grown peppers every year in a regenerative greenhouse (8 years) each year has taught me something with the peppers. One thing for sure is if there is too much nitrogen available to the plants, it will cause aphids. They will get aphids after applying the N if the N is in synthetic form. Peppers will attract aphids when stressed, they can be stressed from too much heat, and or not enough water. I have had aphids plants side by side, one with aphids and the other zero aphids (genetic or the plants ability to do high levels of photosynthesis or not). I have learned the beneficial insect population respondents are highly correlated with the levels of aphids, and the plant sending out signals to bring in the beneficial. I do believe the plant can call in aphids if the plant is really ill or unhealthy to the point that the plant cannot recover (aphids come in the clean up the plant, and mop things up). Very educational subject. Nice visiting with you!
She is absolutely correct..this comes from the ideology of how the world thrived before synthetic solutions were available..case closed! Improve your soil food web and use nature to your advantage! Biology before all!!!
Patti, I live on the 15 storey, my neighbour has aphid infestation on her pepper plants. I just planted 10 pots of pepper and we share the same corridor, will the aphids attack my plants once her plants are destroyed? She doesn't want to treat her plant and I am pretty sure it is not going to survive because all the leaves almost brown, crumpled and bubbling. We don't have beneficial insects on a high rise building.
Hi Saga, Can you buy the micronutrients where you are located? If your plants are healthy enough the aphids cannot live on your plants. I have had plants side by side, with one plant completely covered in aphids and the one next to it not have any nor get any for the entire growing season.
@@regenerativegardeningwithpatti Yes Patti, I can look at the micronutrients just before the plants start flowering. As I have just planted them outside using new potting mix. I have Chinese Lantern, some unknown variety of pepper, okra and trying tomato now. Since all of them tend to have fruit/ flower, I will need to get micronutrients soon. Do you have any recommendation of plants that are small which repel aphids? I think I planted all the plants in overly big pots (dia 30inch+). I am beginner and don't know how big a pot I need so I bought the biggest, there is probably space for 1 more small plant in the same pot. My mum likes flowers but all I did was plant edibles. 😂
Hi Saga, It sounds like you are doing well. I plant nasturtiums to draw the aphids to them and away from other plants. People say marigolds repel them in general. Any plant that is really healthy will not get aphids no matter how many of them are around. You did well on the container size. A tomato needs a very large pot to produce well, and for the other plants you can plant more than one kind in the same pot. Apply the micronutrients once every 10 days if you can. Best of luck, your garden area sounds fun to me!
Hello, I am not familiar with Dong Cheng. The mini Johnson Su is very easy and it works great for people who do not have a really big garden. I have three of them. One has finished compost in it with worms in a root cellar, one was started as soon as the weather warmed up this spring, and another I started in August. Best of luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello, here are the website links where you can get the products. I am not affiliated with anyone. I just want to help people. Thanks for the comment, good luck.
Last year I 1st encountered these black bean aphids on my Asian long beans and what a pain in the rear but why all of a sudden these critters 10 year never before, it dawned on me last year was the year I didn’t use manure with my veggies, I switched to fertiliser only. My thinking is aphids don’t not like manure grown veggies so I planted 1 roe with fertiliser and 1 with manure and wow look at that the roe with fertiliser is full of them and the other is clean and now I’m seeing them on other veggies but not the roe with manure. As for killing them sunflower oil and dish soap did the job but they return quickly either because of the ants or the spray misses a few but either way what a pain….
Great job. I like your experiment and observations. If you give your plants that have aphids on them micronutrients Mg, Mn, S, B. The aphids will not be able to consume the sap in your plants. Best of luck. Your garden sounds fun, it would be nice to see it.
This woman should be taking the stuff in the bottle herself. She looks like she has been rode hard and put away wet. A lot of BS in this presentation also. Compost and leave the rest to nature.
Yes, I know they are. Their main business is based on big ag. But their products work and you can use them as a recipe to find other similar products. Let me know if you need any ideas on other products. Best of luck growing!
I am sorry, but nature is not a set of facts. Even the life cycle of the insect can vary with the weather. Bullet points would be get your soils and your plant a lot healthier and you will not have pests. Best of luck
If you don’t want aphids get rid of snow ball trees and bottle bush trees they hibernate in them . Best way if you can check your underside of leave’s daily. Don’t use wood chips in your garden.
@@user-ul1xq2db4f they just fly around, they want the littler buggies you are too big just do not swat at them or move to fast i just put up my hand like a wall and they dodge it and go away, i also try talking to them saying thanks for taking care of the plants+, like anything though everything gets out of hand if not "checked. just knock off some of their "housing" not all or they will all leave, they might also just rebuild the old "homes".
I would transplant them out into healthy soil and give them the micronutrients if you have it available to you to use. Best of luck, I love Dakila flowers.
@@rosskstar I have only been adding it in my micronutrients. It is needed in the right amount. I don't want to get any excesses of any of the micronutrients.
@@regenerativegardeningwithpatti Cool I'll add borax to the 10lbs of homemade charcoal i doped with potash leachate and urine. I mixed it with eggshells i've been soaking in acid. ...to drop in with new woody plants.
This is my first year growing peppers in my greenhouse. It is a learning experience. I just now got a shade cloth over the GH. Some of my pepper plants have aphids and others do not. Not sure what to think.
I have noticed that genetics play a role in plant immunity. I would apply the micronutrients I discussed in the video if you can source them. Best of luck
Yeah, I agree. The trees have been really getting hit hard with aphids the last few years. Makes me wonder if a perennial plant as big as a tree is stressed out and is not well.... we should be concerned about our environmental health for everyone. Thanks for watching
Lol rubbish, I live in the bush, where insects are abundant and veracious, they are everywhere. If you don't protect your plants u will have 0 produce.
Hello, I am saying nature is being challenged right now. Glyphosate is everywhere (in the water air, and most soils) it is tying up minerals that plants need to do photosynthesis. It is challenging for plants to do what nature intended (fight off insect pests for one). Just helping the plants and not using pesticides. Here is a great podcast to learn more. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4lqwgU8mdys.html Best of luck with what you are growing.
Yes, glyphosate is in our food supply. Oats, rice, nuts etc. you’re absolutely correct my dear. Some people just aren’t as aware of the current state of our planet and food supply. 🥸🤓
@@LaurenNHall77 So true Lauren. I would really like to turn things around and get enough farmers using regenerative ag so we can get to a tipping point. The world seems to only want to go after the money. With enough regen forming the chemical ag will be losing money, and hopefully be done away with. The planet will still have to pay for the chemical overuse for a long time to come. Thanks for your comments!
No one has taught this thing about aphids! Everyone just use pesticides to get rid of them. I also thought there is some nutrition deficiency in plant that might be the cause but this video proves it all! Can you please guide about fungal diseases like powdery mildew, downy mildew, anthranose, are these diseases also caused by stressed plants.
Hi Neer, Watch this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D1wJefaFrVI.html I think it will really help Unfortunately the agriculture industry has been all about selling the producer's products.
use 1/2 cup peroxide per gallon sprayed when the sun is low to control powdery mildew, once a week or every other...works great. it dissipates quickly and doenst harm aything except the mildew. peroxide is h202. water with and extra oxygen molecule....
Is this a preferred method for perennials that seem to prefer a fungal environment (fruit trees, for instance), or would a fungal slurry be preferred? Great info!
I like low-cover crops in the fruit trees, mulch my apple trees with compost, and put old wood chips on top. I also use what you probably are calling a fungal slurry too. If I can get a chance to put a foliar of micronutrients and compost extracts early before they break dormancy. If you have a lot of trees I would get a hold of AEA and do their proitcall. Best of luck
Hi Patti, If I had the opportunity to buy a bionutrient meter today, would you recommend it? I could get one secondhand, but I don't see lot of people talking about them and I wasn't sure if the technology really evolved into anything useful. Thanks for your thoughts. :-)
Do you have a market garden? I would get it if you is not too expensive. You can gain a lot of knowledge as to how much the vegetables you test are measuring in Polyphenols. Which should tell you a lot about how healthy you are getting your plants and soil. Be prepared for a lot of variance. It does take a time commitment to do the measuring. If you like citizen scientist activities, I think having a meter would be great.
@manneil011 Hi there, I am getting the plant to defend its self. Then do not have to buy neem or any other pesticide. Best of luck with what you grow. Thanks for the comment.
OK, understand. If you can gain enough soil/plant health you will not have aphids on your target plants. During high-stress periods and the plants are not doing photosynthesis well, you will have aphids. Best of luck growing healthy plants is the key.
OK, I would think you will have to start applying stuff in the fall to get the tree healthier for the next crop year. I would check out advancingecoag.com/crop/fruits/ @@TheAstonp
Last year my peach tree was infested with aphids and produced zero fruit so this year I was more vigilant about spotting them earlier. Unfortunately I was neem oil instructed by previous videos to help control/kill the aphids and now I came across THIS video which makes perfect sense. I sprayed very lightly and hope the neem hasn't caused too much damage and will do better damage control with the help of videos like this. I HATE afids more than satan satan...lol. UGH. I want some peaches!!!!
I like this way of thinking about addressing aphids because I want my plant healthy. I think my brassica are stressed because I didn't water them enough and over wintered. Is this a homemade recipe I can make for the white aphids on my kale and cabbages?
You need the micronutrients for the plants to perform at a really high level. You can buy a product like micro-genics. One bottle will last a long time unless you have a super large market garden. Best of luck.
Get some wasps. They love eating aphids. I just use soapy water kills most insects. Also Add silica to your soil. I compost horsetail. Cell walls become too hard for aphid to penetrate. Also mildews can’t get through either.
@@cathysteele924 Hi Cathy, I purchase this product from Montana Grow- Montana Grow Silica Silicon Dioxide SiO₂ 0-0-5 Granules with Trace Minerals. I normally add it to my compost when I am making the compost. Best of luck
Hello Sara, The mycorrhizal is in your soil already, unless you have been tilling, over watering or using pesticides and fungicides. You can buy the dormant mycorrhizal sores online. I buy my biologllic seed inoculant from Advancing Eco Agriculture (Bio Coat Gold). advancingecoag.com/product/biocoat-gold/ I also add Bio Coat Gold to my planted pots. It works best if you plant more than one type of plant in your pot. For example, I will grow onions in a planter and add some rose moss or another small trailer to the planter. Best of luck
@@regenerativegardeningwithpatti Hi thanks for your reply! We are normally tuaght for plant in container 60 percent soil some perlite some vermicultie and 30% to 40 % compost to improve clay soil structures and drainage. This may be wrong. It is circulated all over gardening sites and youtube. With no Till method compost is only 6 cm at top of the soil.
@@neerajkakar8104 I only put the compost on top. I tend to let the plants compost and add alfalfa hay as mulch in the fall to feed the microbes. Are you do all container gardening?
