Grow These to Avoid Pesticides
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 08. 2024
- Four major plant families contain plants so useful in supporting beneficial insects, I've decided to highlight them in this video.
From the thumbnail:
1) The carrot family (Astrantia pictured) 3:20 in the video
2) The mint family (Agastache pictured) 9:31 in the video
3) The mustard family (Erysimum pictured) 5:21 in the video
4) The sunflower (or daisy) family (Calendula pictured) 7:35 in the video
I made this video as a companion piece to the interview I has on the Rosechat Podcast: rosechat.podbean.com/ They're a great resource for the rose community, and well worth checking out.
Planting diverse flowering plants from across these four families (and indeed you could include a much wider diversity in this list) will help to stabilize predator and pest populations on around your garden. It doesn't mean you'll be pest free, but it might mean (as it has for me) that you won't have to spray the "hard stuff" as much or at all.
If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out:

I don't get it.
I don't see how adding these plants to your garden will help with a infestation.
You state that these plants will bring in beneficial insects.
But won't they also bring in non beneficial insects ?
Of coarse they will.
I don't see how one will out weigh the other.
It's impossible.
I believe that if any of this worked.
Everyone would have been doing it decades ago.
Another thing I've been growing rose's for over 50 years.
I don't remember who taught me this.
But I've been doing this since I was very young.
If I ever have a infestation with anything, on my roses.
Which luckily I haven't had a problem in decades.
What I do is in the heat of the day I spray the plant with my hose. Just a light spray. For a few days in a row. Then once every few weeks, if needed.
I'm a Gardner and I have my customers do this with their roses.
And it ALWAYS works.
Why?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Try it and tell me I'm wrong.
Since you come here with an open mind, I'm happy to clarify for you. Sometimes I get comments from people who don't really want to hear the explanation, but just want to blow hard about their own theories. I'm glad you're not one of those!
Integrated Pest Management has indeed been implemented in horticulture (to varying degrees, depending on how progressive the grower) for decades, and with great success in reducing pesticide use. But the truth is that these horticulturists didn't actually "invent" biological controls. It was more a matter of looking at nature, seeing how populations of predators and prey can balance most of the time, and then asking a question: why does this not seem to happen reliably in intensive agriculture? That is, left without supplemental beneficials, why would a whole greenhouse full of eggplants or poinsettias regularly have out-of-control infestations of whitefly or other pests?
The answer had to do with what humans were leaving out in their own management. Growing monoculture crops in fields or greenhouses for uniform ripening and harvest, there was a lack of diversity of predators/parasitoids, an so when a rapidly-reproducing pest found a fast growing crop, they could devastate it rather quickly. Many growers have responded to this problem with targeted introductions of the beneficials. If you think it's "impossible" you'd better try and convince Koppert and Biobest and the other large producers of biological controls that they have it wrong. Other growers have tacked it by including "banker plants" to makes sure the beneficials are already in place before the infestation gets out of control.
In the garden, at a smaller and less dramatic scale, individual gardeners are also making planting decisions that can make their gardens more susceptible to pests: a dedicated rose garden without any other plants isn't all that different than a field of brussels sprouts. When the aphids or leafhoppers roll in, they're unopposed. A veggie garden that started out bare, and then is suddenly filled with fast growing, well-fertilized leafy greens is a great target for garden pests. So this is the sense behind planting diverse (especially flowering) plants in and around your roses, veggies, or other main crops will act a bit like those banker plants, and have the beneficial insects at hand so that you don't have to react.
One final point (if you've read this long!) is that many gardeners already keep quite a diverse set of plantings in close quarters, and if/when they say to me "I don't bother with any of that... I can keep my pests under control with a spray of water now and again" - I look around the beautiful garden they keep with tons of different flowering plants. Let's just say I don't much argue the point. If they think it's the water that keeping things under control, and not the ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and aphidius wasps, there's no need to disabuse them of the notion.
Attracting beneficial predator insects to the garden with companion planting is a logical concept, and tons of people have in fact been doing it for decades, likely centuries. A moment googling would show various simple examples. For example, the hoverfly polinates many of the tiny flowers listed in the video, and its young feed on aphids. So the adult hoverfly will lay their eggs near where they have seen aphids. Aphids for example are attracted by tomato plants, not these small flowers. You could just have concrete and no roses or vegis anywhere if you don't want to attract anything at all. He's trying to teach people how to let nature's diversity do it's job and keep itself in balance. Why shoot the messenger?
In my country we are advised against using water on rose leaves; I suppose because we want to minimise the spread of black spot.
@@gardensenglishandbeauty I read if your roses have the morning sun on them , it helps to reduce the chances of black spot n mildew
@@annbashir5888 It might be true, but it is not always possible fro obvious reasons, especially in a garden as small as mine. The way I have tried and tested is collecting as many old leaves as possible at the end of the previous autumn so that the spores would not stay in my garden until spring. I also tend to plant disease-resistant roses with the ADR certificate.
Today as I watch another one of your videos, I wonder how we can adequately show how grateful we are for the valuable information you are willing to share. Maybe the fact that gardens around the world are benefiting and will be testament to your life well shared for the future of this beautiful planet.
Thanks Jason, I have been interplanting Dill and Aliums with my brassicas for the last 6 years and I have noticed a significant decrease in the cabbage moths and increase in clean heads of broccoli and cauliflower. Thanks for the suggestions I will be incorporating some of these into my garden this year!
Thanks for sharing your experience Blair. Best of luck this year!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm i just had to buy some diatomaceous earth because the slugs were unbelievable. I wouldn't have any brassicas at all without it.
I really like Goldenrod. I'm one of those people that keep pruners in my vehicle. That way, especially in the fall, I can stop along our rural roads and clip all the beautiful "weeds" and drying grasses to make floral arrangements for my home.
Love it! And if cut at the right stage, they have a not bad vase life!
I do too! Both of my vehicles have scissors and pruners just for doing the same.❤ There's a lot of beautiful bouquets out there in the roadside ditches most call weeds
Such an important topic and you gave tons of practical and helpful advice! Thank you so much. I wish more people would trust a natural balance achieved with biodiversity and leave the chemicals alone. It really makes logical sense that your garden will be way more beautiful, easy to manage and alive if you put plants in, not poison.
Thanks Else. I never need an excuse to add more plants - but this gives me loads of ways to justify it!
I bought some preying mantis cocoons - they hatched and eat a lot of the plant chomping bugs. Also use a motion activated sprinkler - works for cats and deer and everything in between. Lastly, i did the companion flowers as well - marigold, zinnias, alyssum, and nasturtium. I added petunias and pansies too.
Wonderful - I love to see how many different methods you can use to minimize the impact of pests!
Yes. These always popular in the gardens in Toronto of all of us new immigrants who depended on our vegetables gardens, roses for gifts & grapes for the table & a little wine to help us get beyond poverty as most of us came with nothing but hard working hands & minds. I'd add asters to the ones you mentioned for their dark purples etc. & Lilly of the valley for early fragrant blooms.
So timely ! I'm very grateful to you for your shared knowledge to help us make more eye appealing yards one flowering healthy rose bush at a time !
Interesting how ecosystems never need pesticides, tilling or herbicides🤣🤣
so...human intervention not needed. 😁
Exactly
Yeah but the wild is not bothered about it's plants being eaten that they worked hard on ;)
So nice that many of these beneficial flowers are also edible or make great teas!
This was so helpful I feel like I’m going to have to watch it several times and take notes
Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful!
Thank you Jason for providing information like this. Your videos are always on point!
I appreciate your encouragement! Thank U
I love that you point out so many natives.
Very informative, thanks. As a gardener I always appreciate any plant that will help control pests 👍
Love this topic. Thanks for talking about it.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Excited to hear about the seeds you are selling! Thanks for sharing such great tips with us on Rose Chat. 🌹
Thanks for having me on the show Teresa. It was a lot of fun
Just watching this video 2 years later but found it really interesting. I have so many of the plants you listed simply because I like them and I have to say I have very little trouble with damaging insects in my flower or vegetable garden. I also have a giant fleece flower which, when in bloom, is always covered in small bees and in the early spring the bumblebees love the pulmonaria. I try to have good habitat for birds and I think they eat a lot of insects, too.
Great video! I've been growing roses for 8 years with pretty good success and I still learned a few new things 👍👍
Last year, I had few flowers and plants (newly planting the garden- needed time to get things established, plus a major drought preventing many new plants), and lots of aphids. In fall, I threw wildflower and poppy seeds all over the yard and planted some flower plugs I'd been given for free. We had an insanely wet winter, which, while washing away many of the seeds to a low spot in the yard, still allowed many of the seeds and the plugs to establish. Now, we have tons of poppy (CA and oriental) and random wildflowers and those mini carnation things and other little flowers I don't know the name of. I only had one flush of aphids right when the rains stopped and my roses threw out tons of new growth at once. I used the hose and my hands to spray and shake off the aphids each day for several days to ensure my roses didn't get overwhelmed, and then joyously watched as the hundreds of ladybug larvae chomped greedily away. My yard might look a little wild in places, but I can't help but feel joy at the mixture of plants and glorious bursts of flowers.
I grow a few ( native to me ) boneset that are littered with beneficial insects. Similar umbrella shape and color as you described in the carrot family. Awesome video, I have ideas for new flowers. Thank you!
Thank you! Love this so much.
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much. Even though I live in the subtropics of Qld, Australia, I can still grow most cool season plants from autumn 🍂 through to late spring 🌼 My roses 🥀 have barely bloomed this summer as we have had an abnormal amount of rain I am planting out annuals now so your informative video is of great help for me. 😀
Thanks Julia - I like that you have second growing season in the fall and winter! We can extend a bit into the fall, but it eventually gets too cold for much active growth.
You sure have had a lot of rain! I was over in April and May for my daughter's wedding - so much rain and so unusual for Queensland!
Having a 'wild garden' I love the weedier plants. My garden is fizzing with insects and birds pretty much all year long.
Beautiful! Nicely done Anna
Love love love this video thank you! I took notes of everything. Beginner zone 3 gardener here. Planted some pink Yarrow last year and am a huge fan, it bloomed vigorously all season. I stared some Hyssop seed this year, that is another hardy one in the mint fam that is easy to grow in cold climate.
Glad to see you adding so much diversity to your garden!
Love the repurposing of tires for the rosebushes in the background.
Your videos are very informative and useful for an amateur garden enthusiast like me. Thank you!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Thank you for all the detailed info.
Going to get a few of these for my garden this year. Can't wait!
Thanks Gibby. I hope you have a great gardening season!
Ha! You got me! I grow veg and prefer a no dig, no till type garden and these plants ARE PERFECT for me and my garden! Thank You!
My pleasure Pamela
Jason, you did it once again! Love this information. You inspire💚
So glad I found your channel this winter!!❤!! Companion planting is a science. Thank you for these plant suggestions to add beauty to any garden. I have found the carrot and mustard families to be very affective aphid magnets .... and lovely cut flowers.
You bet Tess - wonderful plants in both those families
Super useful video. There's a big movement in my state of North Carolina for using native plants. I've been trying to cross reference lists like this with plants that are native to my region, or at least to the United States. It's pretty surprising how many there are! Thank you sharing and congratulations on being on Rose Chat!
Thanks so much Derek. It's what I love about these four families is that they're represented well across most any climate and even in local native plants.
Hi Jason, I just finished listening to your interview On rosechatpodcast with Teresa; excellent interview. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Thanks so much! I was a little worried beforehand (imagine that - nervous about public speaking!) but Teresa made it easy.
Those are lots of great options. Phacelia is another that has really interesting flowers and blooms for a fairly long time. It's really tough as well. Pollinators love it and it attracts the tachinid fly and hover fly. Lol may be a bit weedy though. Additionally it's used as a cover crop.
Thanks so much Shawn. I'll add it to my "try it out" list.
Jason that cloud behind you, that's some shot topcat👍.... it's 1:20 in the morning here across the pond I should go to bed really🤣😮
Thanks. I couldn't ask for a nicer backdrop.
Thank you so much for another great educational video.
Great video. I have never heard of many of the varieties mentioned besides alyssum, catmint, bee balm, and mint, Shasta daisies I have planted due to the beneficial insects that attacks armyworms. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of the plants you have listed here have a great medicinal properties to them! Great video! I am going to check out the rest of your content and I will probably subscribe!
🙂🌱
Awesome video dear Jason, very educational and just what I was looking for! From all of those I will now need to isolate the ones that repel or are not interesting to slugs. Where I live slugs are a big nuisance and salvia and asters for example don’t stand a chance (I will also need to get rid of some of my tulips for this very reason). Any tips are welcome. Cheers!
This is incredibly helpful and comes at an ideal time for me! My goal on our property this year is to remove the invasive honeysuckle/bittersweet/multiflora rose vines that took over before we bought this place and build upon the beneficials and natives that the sellers were starting to plant. Now if I could just find a natural deer repellent that works without a constant need to reapply I’ll be all set!! 🤓
Try a motion detector sprinkler - works great!
@@Shyeena thank you! ☺️
Thanks Thea. Best of luck with your invasives and especially the deer. I've seen some interesting approaches with less expensive short fencing (double rows seem to freak the deer out) rather than the super tall deluxe versions. I'm (knock wood) deer free on the island here, so I haven't tried it out myself.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm i was just going to say fencing for deer myself. Lol.
Thanks.
Thanks for the tips!
As a recent watcher of your videos, I have to say the way you present them is so great, you are very informative, and have given me so much to think about, thank you.
Thanks Elizabeth
Excellent video! Thanks so much. Makes a good checklist for both annual and perennials!
You bet. Plenty of both in these families. Thanks Pat.
Great video as usual! I love Lunaria too, it's common name in Scotland is "Honesty". I've grown the white variety & cannot recommend it enough! Totally lights up a really shady corner and really is the master self-seeder!! I've been scooping up many wee seedlings and replanting elsewhere in other shady corners which could do with some botanical interest. Very under-rated plant I think! Nepeta (catmint) Achillea, Pulmonaria, Astrantia all amazingly 'bomb-proof' plants, even Alyssum, which is meant to be an annual here has over-wintered fine and already producing new foliage! Thanks for promoting all the 'good guys' :)
Thanks Cindy-Lou !
Cindy-Lou, you just gave me ideas! Thanks from Oklahoma 💚
Great video, Jason! I grow many of these but I want to get a few planted closer to my roses now.
Glad to hear it Helen. I tuck in alyssum wherever there's space!
Thanks for this! Wonderful information!
great!!!!
So helpful, thank you!!!
You bet. I glad you liked it.
We have 2 Grossulariaceae and a couple of skimmia in the garden that are blooming right now.
The scent is very nice, they look incredible and the amount of insects (lots of bees) on it right now is a big reason why we planted them.
Every other plant that needs it, gets pollination and we have very few damaging bugs.
A lot of times I see wasps and ladybirds, etc attacking and eating those bugs.
Thanks Bart. And yes - the currants and gooseberries are excellent for early season blooms. As an added benefit, they seem to get the first wave of aphids before my roses, which gives the predators a "practice run" before the main season.
Good explanation of the varieties. Thanks.
Sweet Cicely is a natural sweetener commonly used with rhubarb. Chop tender stems and leaves add to pot with rhubarb. Thanks for your great videos.
Thanks - and very beautiful white flowers blooming in mass right now in my garden!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I want to have some in my garden, but reading about the difficulties in growing from seed led me to order a seedling from Richters, instead of seeds.
You mentioned Astrantia, I have some seeds that were sent to me in a seed swap. Can you tell me how to grow them? Online resources were conflicting.
Very informative. I will keep this video for my garden. Thank you so much sir.
Love this video, thank you! I have a small garden and love wild flowers but struggle to narrow down my plant list (garden is small). The wall flower is my absolute favourite for scent, for vigour (slugs don't touch it) and it brings me back to childhood ❤ and now I know it's amazing for wildlife too :)
Thanks!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm just by raising awareness you are helping lots of people who are like-minded and open to explore ideas outside the box, even if it's not to everyone's liking :)
I love all these - I need more land, lol. Thank you, Jason.
Lol Meredith. I have the land, but I need less lawn! All in time I suppose.
Great Notes!
Thanks for info, will divide my mint and set outdoor container next to pruned rose!!
Great plan Gaynelle!
GREAT Information!
Thank you so much for this video. It has been a great help. Victoria in RI, USA
Hello Jason, by golly you have really filled my head with new specimens of unknown flowers, some of which I already have experimented in my small garden.
I celebrate that you are now selling some of these seeds which up to now were unknown to me.
I would like you to recommend me some seeds that can be seeded straight onto the soil in this part of the world where I live.
I love gardening, but as time goes by it can be too much of a demand on me, therefore I must stay on the easily kept ornamental flowers.
Love to have your advice plus, can you send overseas and prices.
Dear Jason, I want to add that your videos are my favorite ever since I came across to you. They are so informative that become a pleasure to hear your voice explaining to us, thank you. 😍🙏
Your climate is a little different than mine, but I bet you'd still do well with echinops (globe thistle - Daisy family), centranthus (Jupiter's beard, Valerian family) most salvias I would think (sage - Mint family) and the eryngium I mentioned in the video. I appreciate your encouragement about the videos!
Great topic and extremely useful. Thank you.
My pleasure. Thanks Kelley.
Excellent info.Thanks, it's very helpful.
Thanks Purnima!
Thanks! Very good information!
Fantastic video and great advice. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 👍
Very much my pleasure Sarah. Thanks for watching.
My advice would be, have a pond built. It doesn't even have to be big. We had a little pond built for the frogs around here. The snakes ate all the frogs unfortunately and I had to run them off they were just grass snakes but my pond brought in dragon flies by the thousands. Apparently dragon fly larva live in water. They eat EVERYTHING. Not only are they beautiful but they are soldiers for the garden. They made my garden magical last year. We have 2.5 acres and mow it every other wk. When we'd mow it you could see thousands of dragon flies hovering over the cut grass looking for a easy meal. It was breath taking.
Thanks Mindy. I'd love to get a small pond going. We struggle with mosquitoes at some points in the year, but I know dragonflies are huge in controlling their populations.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yea they do. I only seen a handful of grasshoppers as well. We struggle with grasshoppers around here. They will eat everything, it's so sad. I had zero pest problems last year. But I also had lots of praying mantis and orb weavers. So im sure they all had a hand in it. I live in Oklahoma We had a fairly mild winter, it didn't get cold til after Christmas so I'm hoping a lot of beneficial insects survived and my dragonflies come back.
Very informative, thankyou. Best wishes from South Wales (UK)
Thanks Keith. Have a great gardening season.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thankyou, you too. Just a note - the plant you call "money plant" is known as honesty here!
I love ravenswing. It’s great as an underplanting in a shady border. I cut the heads before they go to seed, then it doesn’t spread. I leave ond head on and put a paper bag over it and tie it until it dispersed the seeds. Old fashioned “weeds” in Europe are now in fashion, we are using them to bring beneficial insects so we don’t have to use pesticides as we are learning to help our planet for the future.
Another top notch video!!
Thanks Nolin.
Thank you for the content that you created. I love them. I really appreciate the information from the veggies and ornamental standpoint. I know SOME of it but further affirmation is most appreciated. My sister absolutely loves roses and watches your channel obsessively. I, myself...hate roses lol /cringe! Please don't send the crowd with pitchforks after me!
No worries Bo - if the rose people will tolerate my frequent off-topic-ness, I'm sure they won't mind a few veggie growers in our midst!
Excellent suggestions here. Thank you. This video made me subscribe!
We love our chives and solidagos and just let them do their thing. We get so many bees buzzing around them especially later in the season when all the other plants are starting to prepare for winter.
Thanks. Solidago makes for a beautiful filler in cut flower bouquets if cut at the right stage too - although some of our customers still balked about the allergies concerns.
Wonderful video and so helpful. I have a lot of Queen Anne's Lace which found my garden and has spread prolifically. To its credit, Queen Anne's Lace attracts lady bugs and butterflies, etc. You likely know more than I do about the beneficials it attracts.
Thanks Beth. Queen Anne's Lace is a beautiful in its own right, but then you can also select some its cut-flower cousins like Ammi majus or Ammi visnaga for an "upgrade" to the wild look.
Absolutely fantastic info
Thanks Christien!
I love sweet cicely! It’s also edible and is used for sweetening tart fruits and veg like rhubarb.
I'm definitely growing some of those plants you mentioned. I have liatres bulb waiting to be planted and seeds for beneficial insects..thank you
Good luck with your plantings!
Amazing info, thank you!
My pleasure Mike. Thanks for watching.
Excellent information…Thanks
My pleasure Norman. Thanks for watching.
I have a couple of patches of stinging nettles. I use them for "tea" (plant tonic) and compost catalyst.
But what I get to watch early each season is the aphids come in mass, and shortly thereafter the ladybugs grow to a sufficient number to wipe them out.
I couldn't find a source to say whether nettles are in one of the families you mentioned. The flowers of nettles are similar to both the carrots and the mustards.
Thanks for this. You named a couple plants I have but had no idea they were "attracters".
Thanks. Those four families make up something like 60-70% of the commonly recommended plants for attracting beneficials, but it's likely that the majority of plants in nature have a role to play as hosts or food sources. Nettles for sure, but I've also seen good information on conifers and grasses.
My new rosebed has been interplanted with both Rue and Jackpot tansy. Both seem to deter Japanese beetles from approaching and I haven't seen one this year.
Natural pesticides are best, excellent video Jason.👍
Thanks so much Ankita
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm your most welcome Jason 🙏
Love the presentation! New veggie gardener in Central Florida
Thanks Patricia.
I wish I could like this video more than once!😍🤩
Interesting topic. Some great ideas. My ambition is still to get some cutting to take. 🤔🙏🌹
I do recommend Aster ageratoides; it is unbelievable how many insects it attracts. It is also very easy to grow and propagate. Solidago is extremely invasive in Central Europe.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks very much for the informative video. I am especially interested in diversity & companion planting & pollinator friendly plants with my vegis, herbs, and flowers.
Thanks Janet. Some people think veggie gardening and ornamental gardening are like opposites, but they really complement each other beautifully!
Roses are not my main show of my garden, but this was quite informative. You bring up early bloomers but not any of the bulbs that bloom before anything else, some of the crocus, are already past their prime, and it the only flower around this early.
Thanks Roger. Good point - bulbs are another good addition. I like hellebores for their timing as well (and to give some early forage to pollinators)
I love self seeders 🧡
Me too - they take care of some of the work for me!
More great info, thanks Jason. I feel that after watching your videos for a few years, we should get some kind of Degree from the Jason College. I don't need a Degree, I just know you've made me a better gardener.
Thanks Dennis - always good to hear you're getting something out of them!
Excellent ThankU love this🍃♥️🍃🌞 conventional gardens seem dead ☠️ next to 🍃lush biodiverse .. alive..colorful ..change w seasons ..good4wildlife .. no noticeable pests
Great content!!
Thanks Rachel
I love your videos and am learning so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Is there a rule of thumb on the ratio of these partner plants to rose plants? How close to the rose plants do they need to be to be beneficial? Thank you in advance!
Nothing numerical. I keep adding flowering plants to fill the gaps in flowering, and try to offer some amount from each of these four families (and a bit from the borage family and snapdragon family too, to round things out). Closer is better, just to have the beneficials near at hand when the pest populations spike. As an example, on my fence border plantings, I have 1 rose every 8 ft, and all the area in between is diverse plantings of (mostly) perennials, with a few annuals tucked in for their long bloom periods.
Awesome Jason I learned a lot. Can you go longer next time? Thank you
Thanks. There might be a few topics on my list that would warrant a longer video.
Even those predator insects have got to eat!! So don't think of the bad bugs as a nuisance, but food for the good bugs!
You bet. Good call.
Aphids were out early this year, but I’ve already found quite a few aphid mummies also. Hooray!
Love when I see that! I'm always watching for the aftermath of predators too.
Thank you I grow some of these but I now want some that I don't have thank you
My pleasure Kelly - the more the merrier I think!
Thanks for an other helpful video Jason! I read appreciate the information.
Can you tell me if it is okay to plant companion perennial at the bottom of climbing rose in the same container. Would the roots tangle together?
It's generally not a problem, but you do have to account for the extra planting in your watering.
🌏❤️🕊😊
😊 Hello Jason,
Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Skills! I Love Your Videos! Your Information Is Very Helping. This is my first time Watching You On CZcams Videos. I Hope You Will Make More Videos.
Canada Is Awesome Places! I have been Canada.
I live in Chicago & Also apartment. I am growing vegetable, flowers, spring flower , roses in containers and pot . One of these days I will send you pictures.
I am moving to Florida 2 to 3 years. I don’t know what part of Florida .I will let you know where , do you have any suggestion what type of flowers can I go there. When I’m there I we’ll go on your website to order Flowers & Plants from you.One of my favorite flowers is roses. Silver people tell me I can’t grow roses in Florida?
God Bless.
Stay Safe!
Wondering how many of these would also be helpful with apple pests (apples and roses are in the same family? ) I have apples and pears and other fruits that have pest damage every year. Specially a fly of some sort that lays eggs in the fruit as well as coddling moths. I found your video very straightforward and thorough at the same time. I haven't seen a "plant pesticide" video put together like this. I have some of these and more added to my wish list.
Thanks Rachel. The beauty of this approach is that it's helpful across the board - apples are in the rose family, and face many of the same insect pests that I'd be familiar with. The plants in the mustard, sunflower, mint and carrot family attract and support such a wide range of generalist predators that are useful in fruits and veggies as well. Specific pests like codling moth can be difficult to target with sprays anyway, because they spend so little time feeding outside of the fruit. They are susceptible to general predators like birds, beetles and wasps- and you may have to combine with cultural controls like the application of Kaolin clay (which won't hurt beneficials) during the infestation period.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much for your reply! I'll be looking into adding your suggestions to combat them.
Thank you for the great video. Is there any similar way to prevent fungicide?
Airflow, pruning for airflow, proper sunlight, and drip irrigation
Thanks. As strngenchantedgirl commented already, pruning and encouraging air movement within the shrub is helpful. Also sanitation - removing diseased and dropped foliage before it releases spores in close quarters with healthy leaves.
I’m planting lots of sunflowers this year 💙🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻🌻 🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻💛
Seems like that's the thing to do this year! Thanks
