Lys og kærlighed herfra 🙏
What about lizards? I'm using netting now but they still get in sometimes and destroy my little new plants

I’m so opportune that irrespective of the economy crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $19,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10 days. Crypto investment is the really profitable…
In the early Spring, roll pollies can decimate seedlings. Use Sluggo, iron phosphate (generic is fine), and it will get rid of them without harming your plants. It's considered organic.
Sluggo is used for snails and slugs, hence the name, but it works well on roll pollies too.
I use buffalo grass (controllable)over garden beds that aren’t in use in Sydney Australia.
This keeps the soil wholesome underneath rather than weeds or soil drying out going dusty and hydrophobic.
Keeps the worms happy underneath too.
You can mow it too if you wish….
Go Nematodes! Good biology has always been the best prevention for me.
I welcome spiders to come on to my fruit trees, that's my pest control for the most part, I battle the Citrus Leaf Miner and having spiders live on my Lemon tree has reduced pest damage
Hey John, thank you for the great job you do by teaching healthy eating habits.
I've learnt a lot from you!!!
What's the best way to keep birds away?
They devastated my fruits this year😭😭😭
Grasshoppers hate the smell of garlic. You can sprinkle powdered garlic around your plants or plant garlic among your other crops. It won't necessarily make grasshoppers leave, if they are already present, but they'll go someplace else to eat the next day and probably leave your garden a bad review on Yelp!. You probably will need to reapply the garlic powder at least once every two weeks. You can sometimes find inexpensive garlic powder in closeout stores such as Ollie's.
I like to core potatoes and then cut them in half and face them down on the on the top of the soil and they'll climb up in that little cavity and eat the potato and you can also pick the potato up and knock them off into the trash can or take them off to the woods
What is fouler feeding?
