Just letting you know you are one of my top 3 gardening channels. You and the others have inspired me to start a community vegetable garden at my over 50s village in Brisbane Australia. There are around 100 residents. We now have around 70 square meters of intensive vegetable production. And every saturday morning, residents and friends can come and have morning tea and get fresh veges. The garden has done so much to get older residents out of their villas, and to talk about healthy eating and recipes. I now have 4 regular helpers. Our garden is featured in marketing for the complex, and body corporate are right behind the initiative. We have compost bays, and are soon to get a commercial chipper/mulcher to make more compost on site. So thank you again James for your enthusiasm and common sense, and brilliant presentation of practical knowledge. Realize you are changing the world more than just in your home town! Bless all your endeavors.

As a warning, be sure and get the netting up early and be careful when you lift it to get into the bed. I’ve had situations that a bug got in while I had the net up and was working on the bed.

Great stuff Ms.Nancy!, Make sure that if you are in a climate that's prone to diseases & insects to make you're trees defenses maximized. Proper fertilizing, plant hygiene, and prevention pink lady and Fuji apples especially taste amazing but are highly susceptible to certain pathogens like fireblight. Prevention of that one is key. Sorry if this was long winded I just was speaking from my past experiences so that you wouldn't have to repeat my original mistake. If you already knew that's even better! But they are definitely worth growing wishing you the best!

[@nancydrewsgarden]

@@sknight333 actually I think they have copper rust right now. It’s started in my Braeburn. What should I use? I looked and found copper fungicide by bonide and armour. What do you think?

[@sknight333]

@@nancydrewsgarden Hey, yeah Copper fungicide is definitely a handy solution to have in your toolset, and should do you well for handling most rusts and apple scab you encounter as I've used it mutiple times. However a few things I'd also figure to mention I've added below. (ADDITIONAL TIPS) 1.) Make sure to properly identify what you are dealing with. A broad fungicide or insecticide offers good protection but for targeting specific fungi or insects certain products that target that particular problem your facing may yield better results. 2.) Consider whether you wish to use organic insecticides & fungicides or synthetic both are okay, but I personally opt for organic whenever possible like neem oil for example. 3.) Always make sure to read the label of the container your applying to your trees and mix in the specified ratio to water & and apply at the proper times and season. Most sulfur products for example shouldn't be applied when high temperatures are present since it can damage the trees leaves and foliage. (Like the middle or highs of the day 80+ degrees or higher) 4.) Your local agricultural extension will generally have information about insects and diseases that may be relative to your area so make sure to use them as a great resource. 5.) Make sure to prune diseased or damaged materials and sanitize between cuts to prevent spread. (General maintenance tip) 6.) Prevention is worth a pound of cure. ( Disease resistant varieties are a great help) 7.) Make sure to enjoy your self its almost always busy managing trees or gardens sometimes but the rewards of growing them yourself are definitely worth the work! Hopefully this helps I know you can do it !!

Plants are toxic and not appropriate for human consumption.

[@taitsmith8521]

I haven't had a lot of insect problems . Most of that gets resolved by having abundant minerals in the soil with a few foliar feeds. Healthy thick leaves / cell structure makes most things less susceptible to aphids and other bugs. BIRDS however, are a real nuisance, especially in early spring when food is scarce and everything is young and tender. I've been using bird netting on my beds, and functionally, ita fantastic, however, it is still bird netting, which means it likes to get atuck on everything it touches. The insect netting looks more appealing to me. I do see one potential down side to using insect netting: POLLINATION. If pollinators cannot access the plants, then that is going to create more problems down the line. Love your garden bro. I'm on the seventh spring of my food forest, and things are going strong already this year. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep improving every year. It's so amazing when your garden begins to outperform your own expectations!

You need to look at the studies of “organic” gardening vs “conventional” gardening. Studies show negligible difference outside of cost… If you garden out in the open, and allow rainwater to fall on your crops, your crops are contaminated by what the clouds absorb to make rain, and by the contaminants picked up when falling through the air. There is no such thing as organic gardening. Animals eat contaminated hay that is sprayed with anti weed chemicals. Their manure is full of that chemical, as is the meat of the animals. Most people trust composted manure to be organic…

@The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni Can you provide the link to where you set up the pvc structure for your insect netting so I know what to get and what dimensions to get? Thank you and Tuck for all the fantastic videos!

Your vegetable plants look wonderful last year I rode some stuff in the bugs just ate them up. I bought some powder for him but I don't like using that stuff on my plants. I grow everything and raised beds. 👍🐟🐟🐟🐟👋👋👋

Great videos! I love your passion for gardening! I just started my vegetable garden a few months ago and got almost no leaf without a hole from pests 😅 was just about to give up, your video gives me hope! Thank you 😊❤

You are SO over the top enthusiastic about the beauty and variety of vegetables - God has GOT to be smiling because you appreciate His creations. Thank you. You teach us gratitude as well as gardening tips.

Yes, I think you are right about the wind affecting the plants. Especially in the colder months, do to wind burn, and keeping the plants at lowered temps.
