I have used the the concrete planter wall blocks from Home Depot and rebar to reinforce ( the blocks have a hole for this in the middle, so you can securely stack 2 or 3 blocks for higher beds). The blocks fit 2” planks, so I used 2”x 6” x 8’ wood boards. I used 3 boards per layer, I got one of the boards cut into 2 4’ lengths. It’s super easy and very cost effective. The blocks cost around $3.50 each. Highly recommend. I’m 71 years old and could do it myself!

For the weeds in your gravel pathways you could rake the gravel off, put cardboard down and then rake the gravel back. Or just put cardboard or tarps down on top and kill the weeds over the winter.

I use tarps to cover problem areas. I dont use any chemicals at all. My problem areas are perrenial beds. So I try to keep annuals separate to perrenial.

For the weeds I suggest putting cardboard down, wet it thoroughly & put some mulch over top. Keep the cardboard wet/moist. The cardboard will smother the weeds & then breakdown into the soil. I know this is not much help for the gravel areas without a lot of work, but would be good in the beds. You can plant amongst the cardboard. I have had good success in my garden with this method.
@juliainthegarden4 ай бұрын
Thank you for the tip! I actually have done this in many of my beds and will do it again. I just need to stay on top of the weeds that blow in. The gravel actually has landscape fabric underneath it, so the issue is seeds (mostly grass) blowing in and germinating and growing in the gravel. I hope you are having a great season in the garden!

To eradicate fungus nats you need a two pronged method. Getting rid of the eggs is only half the battle, you also need to address the adults. To the soil Diatomaceous earth is a good start along with neem cake, on the surface of the pot a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon does wonders. The adults can be addressed with yellow sticky tags placed in the edge of pot, also cinnamon will deter the layong of eggs. Bottom water also helps. I had a bad infestation, after doing the above I rarely see one at present. Hope this helps. Laurie.

I did have many fewer borers, but it was such a wet year that the plants suffered from that and there were more squash bugs! So that's why I didn't end up doing a follow up - but I do think it helps with the borers.

when will people admit the truth--you CANNOT prevent squash vine borers from killing your squash plants. you just CANNOT! they will always attack and kill. it's their nature. all these you tube videos with their home remedies are fun to watch, but they do not work.
@juliainthegarden5 ай бұрын
Well, I am glad you had fun watching at least! 😂 It's funny that you commented this on my channel because I tend to approach gardening as an experiment and just share what I am doing and has worked for me. I tend to shy away from "one right way of doing things," which i think differentiates me from many other gardening channels. Of course, nothing is 100%, and there are lots of variables involved. But I learned this tip from someone else, and it did help decrease vine borer damage for me, so I thought I would share.
