016 - Managing Garden Pests Naturally

Each month in the Soil to Supper Community I provide a Monthly Masterclass based on one of our weekly growing topics.

A few months ago I covered this topic and thought it would be a great podcast episode, as many gardeners find pests in the garden!

We'll cover…

Identifying garden pests
What causes pest problems
Integrated pest management
Building a resilient garden

Extra tips for pest free gardens include;

Hand remove bugs if possible or blast small bugs away with the hose
Use traps for fruit fly, slugs or snails
Bag fruit after pollination and fruit set
Examine pest problems to identify if it's minimal damage or long term problems that need to be reduced
Improve the health or soil, plants and your garden
Create a healthy eco-system for nature to take care of everything for you!

Here's some extra information that I refer to through the episode…
