Such a wealth of information!, specially pictures of beneficial insects which will help me recognize them. Never knew that the white stuff on hog worms was parasitic eggs! Now I know! Thanks Susan

An amazing organization to your info! It's so easy to feel ready for those malicious bugs! I received your Garden Pest Handbook the other day and it too is so well organized and easy to learn from, but what struck me the most is what a visually beautiful book it is. I'm growing veggies for the first time, this year, and have started several varieties. I have always been intimidated by the thought of battling the bugs but not any more - all thanks to you!

Wow, Pat! What nice things to say! I really appreciate it. I took the majority of the photos for the Pest Handbook (which was challenging since I wrote it during the pandemic) but am very pleased with how it all came together. Thank you so much for your nice compliments.

Thank you Susan for sharing all your knowledge. To avoid to kill pollinators, when I use Neem Oil, I use it after sunset, they aren't so active at night like bees and butterflies. I love your garden

Great information! I am really enjoying your videos on pest management. I bought your book last year, and these videos are a great review. Your book has been so beneficial, and I referred to it often last season.

That’s was some good info!!! I wanted to share some tips that I figured out trying to solve another problem. I mixed some baking soda, cornmeal and sugar in little containers for rodent control and found lots of slugs and snails inside. My husband also cleans fish on cardboard and puts it outside after. I’m the morning it is covered with slugs and snails so now I put the cardboard in the garden to attract them. I also put 2 terracotta pots(different sizes) upside down and usually find a bunch in there.

Thanks, Kelley, for sharing those methods, esp. the cardboard and flower pot tips. That's a great way to catch those little stinkers!

Thank you for the suggestion. Here's some information, just in case I can't squeeze into the next video: First of all, I'm not sure if you're experiencing them in a greenhouse (which is very common) or out in your garden. If it's the former, you might consider using yellow sticky traps, although those will only catch the adults. Be sure to check over plants, like I mentioned in the video, before buying plants because whiteflies often originated in the growers' greenhouses. Out in the garden, you can spray the whiteflies off the plants with a jet of water. You can also use one of the following organic products: horticultural oil, insecticidal soaps, Neem oil or plant extracts such as garlic. Be aware that the 2nd and 3rd products are toxic to pollinators so be careful where you spray them. Also, horticultural oil can burn the foliage on seedlings. I wish there were more methods for controlling them.

I’m make the copper rings this year for my broccoli and cabbage. I bought the copper last year but my plants were too big to get the rings around them. Good info.

I had a beautiful sage plant that I loved and had for over 20 years. Neem oil killed it right down to the roots. Very quickly. I am very hesitant to use it at all now.

Can you reuse the copper rings each year or do you have to replace them? How often do you recommend replacing them?
@SusansInTheGarden
@SusansInTheGarden 4 месяца назад
Yes, we have been reusing our copper rings for the last several years and they still do the job. I would only recommend replacing them if the ring itself gets damaged or for some reason, the copper tape starts coming off... but that hasn't happened to us yet.

I recently saw a video where the gardener suggested sprinkling dry oatmeal on the soil around the veggies that slugs love. Apparently, slugs love the oatmeal & it's easy to find on the soil.. The oatmeal apparently swells in the slugs' digestive system & also dehydrates the slug > to its demise.. Haven't tried it yet.. but I definitely will this season (zone 5, southern Ontario). I put in raised beds last year using lengths of split maple branches for the sides, with bark on, of course. I think it's beautiful ~ apparently, so do the slugs.. & oatmeal is easier than beer traps. I can agree that beer works Great as a slug trap !! .. but it's finicky to empty & reset without spillage or tooo much soil in them, lol.. I put my water diluted beer & deceased slugs into my swamp water garden fertilizer bucket.. Figured it was a good use of those slugs for the amount of damage before I got them sort of under control. I was still finding slugs inside my cold frame last Nov. Even the earwigs had finally ended.. 🤞🤞 for a better season this year.. 😊

Hi, Glenda. Well, that's frustrating. Please send me an email at Susan@SusansintheGarden.com so you can attach a photo or two to the message. I'll see if I can troubleshoot that for you.
