    I wanted to be here for the live .. its 4 AM our time, which is fine – I wake up early, but I 'overslept' a bit 🙄 Great presentation of natural pest control methods – but don't neglect the birds! We use ducks for slug and snail control, weeding (and they love woodlice aka slaters, too) .. but for most of the garden, the work is done by the wild bird population, boosted with a little encouragement from feeders and surface water – I've put up houses, but they still prefer nesting in the trees and thickets .. although duck feathers seem to be a popular nesting material.

    I hope this helps or inspires you to keep working towards your long-term sustainable gardens 🌱🐌🌿🥕 There’s more layers to this including integrated pest management such as Chickens and Ducks 🦆 more to come so make sure you are subscribed 😁💚 I appreciate your comments and live chat! See you next week 🎉

    Hi Holly, missed the live show today, enjoyed watching the playback. Great advice for natural alternatives. Ive used egg shells before for slugs and also went out and removed them daily. Both heavily reduced my issue. Im now tackling the cabbage moth by using netting, so far so good. Ive just planted a heap of edible flower seeds inspired by you. looking forward to seeing them grow.

    Question have you ever grown mangle beat? They're pretty much giant beetroot if you haven't heard of them.

    Hey Holly! Something I just learned in my food forest garden is to leave the spider webs alone. They are doing a great job of keeping my grasshopper population in balance. Cheers!

    Last year I read that spreading sand around the bottom of your brassicas, and trimming off any leaves that touch the ground/edge of the pot/bed they're in will deter some of the bugs that eat them. So I started doing that and didn't have any issues with bugs eating them, even grew my first successful cauliflowers!
