    Just letting you know you are one of my top 3 gardening channels.
    You and the others have inspired me to start a community vegetable garden at my over 50s village in Brisbane Australia. There are around 100 residents.
    We now have around 70 square meters of intensive vegetable production.
    And every saturday morning, residents and friends can come and have morning tea and get fresh veges.
    The garden has done so much to get older residents out of their villas, and to talk about healthy eating and recipes.
    I now have 4 regular helpers.
    Our garden is featured in marketing for the complex, and body corporate are right behind the initiative.
    We have compost bays, and are soon to get a commercial chipper/mulcher to make more compost on site.
    So thank you again James for your enthusiasm and common sense, and brilliant presentation of practical knowledge.
    Realize you are changing the world more than just in your home town!
    Bless all your endeavors.

    As a warning, be sure and get the netting up early and be careful when you lift it to get into the bed. I’ve had situations that a bug got in while I had the net up and was working on the bed. Had a field day on my plants and was trapped under the cloth. It multiplied and I had a huge problem. Be aware!

      @@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 !!

      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…

    While I'd love to use insect netting widely throughout my garden, I'm on a strict budget. Constructing frames and buying enough netting to cover all my beds is just not feasible. Your garden is gorgeous! Please don't forget helpful tips for those of us on a budget. Happy growing!

      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!

    This is the main lesson I learned this year. This is only my third year gardening and so far my year has been fairly successful. The only thing I’ve had issues with is my baby pepper plants getting completely demolished by army worms and/or cucumber beetles (which are bad in our area this year) I completely forgot to put out my insect netting when I planted my starts in the raised beds. Next time I will definitely cover my starts with bug netting.
