BUGS Destroy My Garden Despite My Best Effort

[@posingposies6642]

Failure is how we learn!! Never look at a failing as a negative - it’s a learning opportunity! Thank you for sharing!!

[@justiciam.6951]

You have white butterfly caterpillars. Some call it white cabbage moths, but it is a butterfly. They lay their eggs under the leaves. They hatch and eat the leaves. They don't like swiss chard. I had the same issue. Spray BT which is considered ok for organic gardening. 30ml in 10 litres of water. Spray after each rain.

[@denisekeeth4595]

Justin my daughter went through the same thing you are. She fell 'up' the stairs and smashed her front five teeth to bits. It looked like she'd been in a bad car wreck. After a lot of dental work and two bone grafts, two years and a lot of money later she got her new implants and it's all good. I wish you well and less pain.

[@Cinderdiane]

I so enjoy your vlog! Congratulations on the baby! I’m hoping for a girl like the children! Saw that the sunflowers are gone wondered if you harvest for the cows. Anyway I love sunflowers. I agree 💯percent about failing! If you don’t first succeed, try , try ,again! I love growing things. Love, love, seeing you grow things! The children to me are the best! But the beauty of your farm is nothing short of amazing. It is so lush and green. Amazing! Hope the gums grow up nicely for you and you will soon recover and feel better. I know this is long but just wanted to say them. God bless you as you and your sweet family keep growing along! Family is everything! 🥰

Flea Beetles. I would suggest that when you put them down in the ground you cover the ground with DE. You created a perfect home for the bugs under those covers. If they are there you just created a bug Hilton with them. Moist, warm, food, bug heaven. A simple Dawn Dishsoap spray will do wonders, In the spring the bugs haven't emerged. In the fall, they are up and raring to go. BT, Neem oil, DE, Soap Spray, will get you a long way ahead. IMHO. I've had the same successes and failures.

[@judycassel1380]

I love watching you guys gardening.Fresh Kale with Scrambled eggs and tomatoes.You guys work very hard ..

[@kathybradbury]

Insects lay eggs on the plants or in the soil at the base of them. Diatomaceous earth will kill many pests.

[@TexasJungle]

I’m trying Aquaponics with monster fish and so far the garden is doing pretty good thank you for all the tips and great advice you always give

[@bbraskey8521]

You encouraged me! Thank you! 🥰Normally, when my crops get eaten up by critters, I just get depressed & want to give up.

[@pleinaire8698]

failure is part of success...be happy that 4 out of 6 rows are doing well!

[@valerialamberti9037]

Ohhh sweet Justin, sometimes whe are tired just because! Whe need to listen to the rithm of our body! You feel too guilty when you are not producing as mucho as your best!

[@danielharshman796]

have you tried planting marigolds?

[@michealdraconis6179]

Pain does that to you Justin trust me I have been in constant pain for 45 years

[@laurapote2254]

there are heat warnings (107 to 114 degrees!!) here (redlands california) over the labor day weekend so no gardening for me! i only have a few pots and a strawberry tower i am trying to keep alive at the moment. the new garden beds aren't ready to plant yet but it is so hard to wait!!

[@chelemichele1524]

Glad your mouth is doing well.. Glad to see Rebekah is feeling better. Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻

[@leahharbison3189]

Sleep is when you heal.all the best to you Justin.you workin to hard.let them boys do it.

[@Mobiusquip]

essential oils, predator insects, diatomaceous earth, large variety intercropping

It's not really a failure, you're still gaining from it: lessons learned, more experience, and opportunities to try something new. Gardeners can follow the same formulaic methods year after year... and some years will be phenomenal successes, while others will "fail" spectacularly. Maybe try a different variety of seeds, or transplant to a different part of the garden, or note what was grown in that spot before (was it healthy or sickly?). Keep detailed records, you have video records so write this stuff down so you can see at a glance what/where/when/result. Keep learning, teach your kids what worked AND what didn't... they have good ideas. 🙂

[@hidawayhomestead524]

Ending your show in what feels like the middle of something is making me crazy.🤪 I feel so unfinished. Stay safe and God bless you my friends. 🌱🐷🐇🐐🐄🐓🌱

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Sorry about that. Sometimes I don't conclude the days story very well.

[@rsims1947]

Hey justin you should see a doc and get your Back checked out.. i was bed riddn for 2 weeks befor i went to hospital ....it was kidnea stones it was realy bad lower back pain ..i too have switched my diet to more protien wich apearently isnt good if u dont drink enough water to clense your kidnea it developes stones ⚠️ if the pain is lower back get it checked ..... cheers .

[@annnicholls7585]

I can identify with the lack of motivation. I am praying for solutions. The life of a farmer is vulnerable to nature’s vagaries.

[@mallymegan]

Your tiredness sounds like sympathy pregnancy symptoms 😅 Congratulations!

[@jdp6ofus]

Do you have trouble with slugs? Kinda looks like the slug damage we are having. All the rain we've been getting seemed to make both the slugs and the army worms here go crazy - AL, zone 7b. The slugs made it under the insect netting. :-( Too many to pick off, so I just cleared out the plants and anything they could hide in, used a flame torch on the bare soil, going slower to hopeful kill any hiding, and then replanted from direct sown seed. And recovered it with bug netting again before the seeds came up. Hoping it works....

[@VoteThirdPartyorFourth]

Sorry to hear man. Love your vids, I'm in Los Angeles doing an organic container garden. You try interplanting methods for pest control, like placing chives/onions/garlic plants intermittently? Ever tried cold pressed Neem oil?

[@TheArtyMummy]

I hope you're feeling better really soon. Take care. ❤

[@jbuggy3845]

............."you ever feel like that?".....................yeah...............usually everyday!

[@Lucas_Terry]

Cedar mulch worked for me along with the bug netting then again I had eucalyptus trees planted around I don't know if that made a difference or not.

[@jakes1865]

I bet you're feeling carb depleted on the carnivore diet. I felt like that a lot when I was eating that way. I switched to a more "protein heavy balanced biblical diet" and can say I don't feel like that any longer.

[@christinafaught1560]

Garrett juice concentrate is my fav plus org fert follicular feeder and the bugs hate the beneficial ingredients. But downside is benefitial insects are kept away too. Dont forget to coat underside of leaves too.

[@michealdraconis6179]

No ones perfect it’s called farming not harvesting lol all you can do is try

[@steph6337]

The goose literally flaps every single time... Except when you ask.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

I know, right.

[@michealdraconis6179]

I would release a whole mess of lady bugs in your fall garden to eat the afids

[@StevenStGelais]

I live in South East Charlotte and my kale got hit by moths a week ago soooo bad. The most worms I've ever seen in one spot. They are a brown moth that lays larvae that then eat the kale just like yours. They didn't bother the Swiss chard right next to it. I now have no kale

[@StevenStGelais]

I would say, spray the kale with neem oil next year before September so that the larvae can't be laid?

[@Kendergurl]

What if you swish your cabbages in water (to wash of bugs) right before you transplant cover them?

[@laurensummers]

I was just wondering your set up your water lines along your lanes so if get rid of them where are your waterlines going to go?

[@flyingpigpreserve8562]

The old saying goes If You At First Don't Succeed Try Try Again. The Beautiful One is getting further along in pregnancy so she'll be feeling better and better every day. God Bless and Peace Be With You All

[@raymondauthement3072]

Omg. The first comment. Justin yes the bugs will start when they sprout. Keep them covered from start to finish. A l so remember that the bugs are there from the garden the last year

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@fastsetinthewest]

Convincing yourself a failure ain't easy. Failure in combat - epic and permanent. Not acceptable. Good luck. Eaglegards...

[@homesteadincrazy7773]

do you use companion planting?

[@jenng2454]

Sounds like Papa is in a flare and maybe having pregnancy symptoms at the same time. I always flare after surgery

[@jonabriggs8829]

I'm so sorry the bug's got your plant's :( But, you do have some left ! You guy's always do such a great job of setting up your Chicken Station's :) Good luck in everything you do , God bless :)

[@mrsfarmwife84]

Yes, we've been noticing the fall changes too.🍁

[@charlottefavre8600]

So relaxing to watch

[@jessielininger1196]

Bugs somehow got under our net too and our poor brassicas are being devoured. We plan to put DE on the plants repeatedly as the rain washes it off.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Hope your mouth heals and you can get your implants.

[@kmeevd]

Hubby thought I was crazy with my cravings this last time I wouldn't get a i want x I'd get i want a bite sized fruit

[@MyMojo13]

When you plant tomato, plant basil in-between each two... Plant Lots of peppermint, spearmint, Greek oregano but Not in the ground preferably in those large galvanized bins . To attract more bees and butterfly and birds... Larger harvest in less space... I think!!!🤪

[@sdm9019]

You should try Korean natural farming it has natural insecticides that you make from nature.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

I think you should disinfect the nets before using them again.

[@frasersprospecting2110]

Great video thank you for making it Justin

[@tipgiles5432]

Get weed fabric from Growers Solution and you will not spend so much time weeding. J. Giles

[@annsanimationaddiction8024]

The vine boreres have begun to take over my winter squash, but at this point I'm losing hope that it'll produce anything for me. Plenty of baby squash but none that got past the blooming stage.

[@gregsullivan8956]

Yeah

[@gailhitson6722]

The devil's in the little details...like bugs! Sorry they won this time around...more bugs for the chickens! Yah!

[@rustypage602]

Do your kids ever have melt downs or fight with each other?! They seem so disappointed and tame.

[@judycassel1380]

Cherokee Judy,Christmas Dinner!!! Yes!!

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

If we don’t fail we never learn!❤️

[@bbraskey8521]

It just takes time to let your body heal. You have just had a huge Oral surgery.

[@jorgemrivera5973]

The ducks clean your garden from bugs without eating the produce.......

[@judyspaulding4141]

Getting ruff at times! Your growing tunnels should pull up the slack!

[@iiAmChristopher]

What kind of dog is teddy? I want one like him.😩

[@bandtees4917]

Looks like an Advert for pumpkin patch welldone 🙌

[@judycassel1380]

It's hard work!🇺🇸➕🌺🤗

[@corrieduvall9901]

Don't forget the soap for the water and the wax when u butcher the ducks

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Didn't need wax. Timed it right ;)

[@loveworksnoevil]

dawn soap and water usually does it

[@shelleypoole6415]

Here’s to a speedy, healing recovery to your mouth so the implants will take. Have you ever thought or making your own beef jerky and sticks?

[@Kim-yt7mr]

Yup... just count your blessings

[@3DThrills]

Had a nice healthy crop of squash and cukes and bugs destroyed it in a single night. Never saw a bug, just a lot of droppings.

[@sharonl649]

I can’t see other comments....why? I can see comments on all the other channels I follow, just not Justin Rhodes and it’s been for about the last 4-5 videos I’ve tried.

[@catherinecarden4581]

And love your videos

[@nicolehanshaw2783]

You only fall when you stop tring its just s learn curve 💯

[@tonibraswell3704]

I planted a lovely garden to feed the deer. I thought it was rabbits until we saw the deer in my front yard.

[@alijohnson1365]

Just suggestions for bugs that work here in Queensland Australia. Crush red chilli and make a spray with water and viniger . Every second or third day . You might not lose as much as you just showed . Love watching your beautiful family grow

[@kutrabilada8865]

I wonder if you are considering organ meat along with your carnivore diet? I understand it's essential to get the right nutrients for optimum result. You have organic high quality stuff right at your door step.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

I take an organ pill but am working towards directly eating it.

[@blackpackhomesteadchrisand7337]

We have had lots of rain lately. My bet is slugs.

[@jazfarm5726]

Your back? Stretch a bunch. I am 58, had a 4 level spine fusion 3 years ago with disc removals and spacers and 6 inch rods. Take care of yourself, it can only get worse and I am here to tell you that Stenosis will make you want to die.

[@lilmamarogue1073]

Lost my cabbage to bugs.

[@geoffreywoodfield2180]

Have you thought of useing Ladybirds ( Ladybugs) i think you call them

[@michealdraconis6179]

Since the plants are a loss let the chickens deal with the bugs

[@hellochainsaw]

I’ve never been this early for anything in my life. Hi.

[@markmahecha8974]

Use the chickens and ducks to eat the bugs

[@judycassel1380]

Rebecca you look so cute with your hair in the little bun.you look like a little girl,now we know what your hubby Justin is seeing.🤗➕🌺

[@lizgessnermcallister4884]

Maybe you are tired because it’s the first trimester! Lol

[@backyardtropicals1157]

Nice

[@bettertvreceptionwithfoilf7100]

Let me say, that lethargic feeling, that feeling that you need to get more sleep, you haven't rested enough, or you are not motivated, no energy, etc.. all of this is being noted by my co-workers, myself and my neighbors. Something in the air? I'm thinking mood altering drugs in the chemtrails.. just a guess based on a feeling, but who knows these days?
