Doing This ONE THING Eliminates 90% of PEST PROBLEMS in the Garden 

SO WHEN NECESSARY YOU DO USE CHEMICALS ON YOUR GARDEN?

Bugs also hate the smell of ceder wood.

Where do you get the Surround Kaolin clay? I've been searching for it for ages because of your video but having a hard time finding it, especially in Canada..

I’m a new team member. Been binge watching. Thanks very knowledgeable videos

@@wheepingwillow24u17 Only organic options.

??? I think you posted on the wrong video? or else youtube is messing up royally!

Yep! Been using it a while and it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Thank you!

You are a hero. Now time to downwote the video for unnecessary longevity.

Geez, thank you. I wanted to watch this video but the hysterical infomercial personality really turned me off.

Food grade diatomaceous earth works in a similar fashion against pests smaller than slugs... including bedbugs.

It’s a myth about the egg shells.. watched a video on RU-vid about the most effective way to deal with slugs and snails.

@@whitelion1284 I need to get this!

Beer is also great for snails!

LOVE this comment!

Just be cautious about the type of Garden Bed and Dirt you use. Australia has toxins in the ground from a long time ago or from fire fighting foam etc. Do not eat any raw foods for approximately 15 days after spraying. Get your water checked too.

Wow that’s amazing! I really wish we had something like that in our town or that it was a regular thing at most towns or apartments.

Top channel for me in STL.

How AWESOME 😊

Let’s Gooo!!!!

I agree!!!

In 65 years? Really?? Ok.....

..it's not healthy - it's full of poisons you can't see

How many people on here would sprinkle slug pellets on their food? Ehh??? How many? Well, that is exactly what you are doing when chemicals are added to the soil to destroy critters = they breakdown & the plant you are trying to protect..absorbs these chemicals through the roots & you end up consuming them😂😂it makes me laugh so hard to think of this - you've all been blinded by advertising 😢 Question Everything - work with nature not against it 💚

How do you deal with lack of pollinators getting to the plants?

@@firehorsewoman414 I self-pollinated with QTips last year and also would take the nets off for a few hours each day to encourage natural pollination

@@firehorsewoman414 You only use it for veg which don't require pollinators, which is almost all veg except peas/beans. Peas/beans don't really need protection form pests in most cases, bit of green/black/white fly won't cause much damage. Melons/squash/cucumber/courgette again don't need any protection so they're open to pollinators :)

I mainly used the netting on things that dont need pollinators. Onions, lettuce, kale, cabbage, cauliflower... I have used it on peppers before but i had to come out occasionally with an electric toothbrush and shake the flowers so they got pollinated.

His excitement makes me excited 😊

Happened to me too! We had to find the caterpillars, squished them and spray BT.

That’s happened to me!,

I was just wondering if having that net off too long would cause issues.

I wonder if it would help to get an extra big net so that you can close the net behind you while you work.

@melmac5173 it happened to me this year, they had a feast and everything was destroyed (strong winds ripped my cover off and only found out too late hrs later, it was enough, but I still cover it back praying for the best). I uncover my raised bed and pulled everything out and in trash they goes and I spray with Bug BGone to kill any larvae and aphids/green worms etc... I think I will have to throw away the soil on top at least 2" before planting anything in it,??

I've seen a few really good raised bed builds with hinged hoop greenhouse lids. Or something like that. One guy did an excellent video building a double wall greenhouse lid/cover. With plastic on both walls it's like moving 2 grow zones south. It's on youtube.

Dah..from his food !!

@@jamesbeeman8192 😂 … 👍

Let’s Goooo Pam!! 🐕😁❤️

Plants are toxic and not appropriate for human consumption.

I second that!

I vote for Tuck ❤

We already have one in office right now, the biggest sniffer

A carrot in every garden!

Hi Susan, where did you source your clay? I've been looking for it for a while based on his use of it on his fruit trees but can't find any (or they don't ship to Canada)

@@FMNsocial Arbico-organics

@@susanryba6868 thank you!

Dogs eat apples?

Some dogs do, some don’t. Just like us “big dogs.” 😅

Great stuff Ms.Nancy!, Make sure that if you are in a climate that's prone to diseases & insects to make you're trees defenses maximized. Proper fertilizing, plant hygiene, and prevention pink lady and Fuji apples especially taste amazing but are highly susceptible to certain pathogens like fireblight. Prevention of that one is key. Sorry if this was long winded I just was speaking from my past experiences so that you wouldn't have to repeat my original mistake. If you already knew that's even better! But they are definitely worth growing wishing you the best!

@@shadowknight7756 actually I think they have copper rust right now. It’s started in my Braeburn. What should I use? I looked and found copper fungicide by bonide and armour. What do you think?

@@nancydrewsgarden Hey, yeah Copper fungicide is definitely a handy solution to have in your toolset, and should do you well for handling most rusts and apple scab you encounter as I've used it mutiple times. However a few things I'd also figure to mention I've added below. (ADDITIONAL TIPS) 1.) Make sure to properly identify what you are dealing with. A broad fungicide or insecticide offers good protection but for targeting specific fungi or insects certain products that target that particular problem your facing may yield better results. 2.) Consider whether you wish to use organic insecticides & fungicides or synthetic both are okay, but I personally opt for organic whenever possible like neem oil for example. 3.) Always make sure to read the label of the container your applying to your trees and mix in the specified ratio to water & and apply at the proper times and season. Most sulfur products for example shouldn't be applied when high temperatures are present since it can damage the trees leaves and foliage. (Like the middle or highs of the day 80+ degrees or higher) 4.) Your local agricultural extension will generally have information about insects and diseases that may be relative to your area so make sure to use them as a great resource. 5.) Make sure to prune diseased or damaged materials and sanitize between cuts to prevent spread. (General maintenance tip) 6.) Prevention is worth a pound of cure. ( Disease resistant varieties are a great help) 7.) Make sure to enjoy your self its almost always busy managing trees or gardens sometimes but the rewards of growing them yourself are definitely worth the work! Hopefully this helps I know you can do it !!

@@shadowknight7756 How do you prevent fireblight?

It's possible he is following the square foot gardening method (which you can google). It has recommendations for all sorts of combos and quantities to put in each square. hope that helps.

When I was first trying out insect netting I used dollar store hula hoops, cut to form the semi circle supports for the cloth. I also used sheer curtains from thrift stores, which worked pretty well. Brassica growing is challenging, just a cheap barrier can make such a difference!

@@annettevanderklippe1653 Thanks Annette!

​@cltinturkey Yes even thrift store for fabric like Tule to stop birds.

If your determined, you can fit little purchases here & there, it takes time when on a budget, I also am on a tight budget, if you have kids drop hints holidays, birthday, mothers &/or father's day. My kids have come through for me on a lot of things but like I said 1 purchase here & there, you'll get there.

@@pamschonfarber1041 Thanks for your encouragement!

Let's Gooo!!!! King Tuck says thanks for the love and hearts

LETS GO!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You replying makes this so much more meaningful!!!

NEVER plant Corn and Tomatoes close to each other. You will have MANY more Corn worms, and Horn Worms. Plant on opposite sides of the Garden.

@@jeanniek1498 Interesting. How far apart should we grow them?

Hey. Go buy a book called JADAM natural Korean agriculture. It gives u ultra cheap recipes for organic fertilizers and pesticides. Plants will do amazing!

You need to look at the studies of “organic” gardening vs “conventional” gardening. Studies show negligible difference outside of cost… If you garden out in the open, and allow rainwater to fall on your crops, your crops are contaminated by what the clouds absorb to make rain, and by the contaminants picked up when falling through the air. There is no such thing as organic gardening. Animals eat contaminated hay that is sprayed with anti weed chemicals. Their manure is full of that chemical, as is the meat of the animals. Most people trust composted manure to be organic…

My kind of guys....James and Tuck Love me some Tuck!.

Dogs are carnivores and barely receive any benefits from eating veggies. They’ll eat them only if they feel starved. If a dog is on kibble only, they will be malnourished.

❤️ So sorry he's not with you. I can tell you gave your Tuck a very happy life!
