I don't get it. I don't see how adding these plants to your garden will help with a infestation. You state that these plants will bring in beneficial insects. But won't they also bring in non beneficial insects ? Of coarse they will. I don't see how one will out weigh the other. It's impossible. I believe that if any of this worked. Everyone would have been doing it decades ago. Another thing I've been growing rose's for over 50 years. I don't remember who taught me this. But I've been doing this since I was very young. If I ever have a infestation with anything, on my roses. Which luckily I haven't had a problem in decades. What I do is in the heat of the day I spray the plant with my hose. Just a light spray. For a few days in a row. Then once every few weeks, if needed. I'm a Gardner and I have my customers do this with their roses. And it ALWAYS works. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Try it and tell me I'm wrong.

Since you come here with an open mind, I'm happy to clarify for you. Sometimes I get comments from people who don't really want to hear the explanation, but just want to blow hard about their own theories. I'm glad you're not one of those! Integrated Pest Management has indeed been implemented in horticulture (to varying degrees, depending on how progressive the grower) for decades, and with great success in reducing pesticide use. But the truth is that these horticulturists didn't actually "invent" biological controls. It was more a matter of looking at nature, seeing how populations of predators and prey can balance most of the time, and then asking a question: why does this not seem to happen reliably in intensive agriculture? That is, left without supplemental beneficials, why would a whole greenhouse full of eggplants or poinsettias regularly have out-of-control infestations of whitefly or other pests? The answer had to do with what humans were leaving out in their own management. Growing monoculture crops in fields or greenhouses for uniform ripening and harvest, there was a lack of diversity of predators/parasitoids, an so when a rapidly-reproducing pest found a fast growing crop, they could devastate it rather quickly. Many growers have responded to this problem with targeted introductions of the beneficials. If you think it's "impossible" you'd better try and convince Koppert and Biobest and the other large producers of biological controls that they have it wrong. Other growers have tacked it by including "banker plants" to makes sure the beneficials are already in place before the infestation gets out of control. In the garden, at a smaller and less dramatic scale, individual gardeners are also making planting decisions that can make their gardens more susceptible to pests: a dedicated rose garden without any other plants isn't all that different than a field of brussels sprouts. When the aphids or leafhoppers roll in, they're unopposed. A veggie garden that started out bare, and then is suddenly filled with fast growing, well-fertilized leafy greens is a great target for garden pests. So this is the sense behind planting diverse (especially flowering) plants in and around your roses, veggies, or other main crops will act a bit like those banker plants, and have the beneficial insects at hand so that you don't have to react. One final point (if you've read this long!) is that many gardeners already keep quite a diverse set of plantings in close quarters, and if/when they say to me "I don't bother with any of that... I can keep my pests under control with a spray of water now and again" - I look around the beautiful garden they keep with tons of different flowering plants. Let's just say I don't much argue the point. If they think it's the water that keeping things under control, and not the ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and aphidius wasps, there's no need to disabuse them of the notion.

Attracting beneficial predator insects to the garden with companion planting is a logical concept, and tons of people have in fact been doing it for decades, likely centuries. A moment googling would show various simple examples. For example, the hoverfly polinates many of the tiny flowers listed in the video, and its young feed on aphids. So the adult hoverfly will lay their eggs near where they have seen aphids. Aphids for example are attracted by tomato plants, not these small flowers. You could just have concrete and no roses or vegis anywhere if you don't want to attract anything at all. He's trying to teach people how to let nature's diversity do it's job and keep itself in balance. Why shoot the messenger?

@@annbashir5888 It might be true, but it is not always possible fro obvious reasons, especially in a garden as small as mine. The way I have tried and tested is collecting as many old leaves as possible at the end of the previous autumn so that the spores would not stay in my garden until spring.

Last year, I had few flowers and plants (newly planting the garden- needed time to get things established, plus a major drought preventing many new plants), and lots of aphids. In fall, I threw wildflower and poppy seeds all over the yard and planted some flower plugs I'd been given for free. We had an insanely wet winter, which, while washing away many of the seeds to a low spot in the yard, still allowed many of the seeds and the plugs to establish. Now, we have tons of poppy (CA and oriental) and random wildflowers and those mini carnation things and other little flowers I don't know the name of. I only had one flush of aphids right when the rains stopped and my roses threw out tons of new growth at once. I used the hose and my hands to spray and shake off the aphids each day for several days to ensure my roses didn't get overwhelmed, and then joyously watched as the hundreds of ladybug larvae chomped greedily away. My yard might look a little wild in places, but I can't help but feel joy at the mixture of plants and glorious bursts of flowers.

My advice would be, have a pond built. It doesn't even have to be big. We had a little pond built for the frogs around here. The snakes ate all the frogs unfortunately and I had to run them off they were just grass snakes but my pond brought in dragon flies by the thousands. Apparently dragon fly larva live in water. They eat EVERYTHING. Not only are they beautiful but they are soldiers for the garden. They made my garden magical last year. We have 2.5 acres and mow it every other wk. When we'd mow it you could see thousands of dragon flies hovering over the cut grass looking for a easy meal. It was breath taking.

I had zero pest problems last year. But I also had lots of praying mantis and orb weavers. So im sure they all had a hand in it. I live in Oklahoma We had a fairly mild winter, it didn't get cold til after Christmas so I'm hoping a lot of beneficial insects survived and my dragonflies come back.

@FraserValleyRoseFarm
@FraserValleyRoseFarm 2 жыл бұрын
Nothing numerical. I keep adding flowering plants to fill the gaps in flowering, and try to offer some amount from each of these four families (and a bit from the borage family and snapdragon family too, to round things out). Closer is better, just to have the beneficials near at hand when the pest populations spike. As an example, on my fence border plantings, I have 1 rose every 8 ft, and all the area in between is diverse plantings of (mostly) perennials, with a few annuals tucked in for their long bloom periods.

Wondering how many of these would also be helpful with apple pests (apples and roses are in the same family? ) I have apples and pears and other fruits that have pest damage every year. Specially a fly of some sort that lays eggs in the fruit as well as coddling moths. I found your video very straightforward and thorough at the same time. I haven't seen a "plant pesticide" video put together like this. I have some of these and more added to my wish list.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm
@FraserValleyRoseFarm 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Rachel. The beauty of this approach is that it's helpful across the board - apples are in the rose family, and face many of the same insect pests that I'd be familiar with. The plants in the mustard, sunflower, mint and carrot family attract and support such a wide range of generalist predators that are useful in fruits and veggies as well. Specific pests like codling moth can be difficult to target with sprays anyway, because they spend so little time feeding outside of the fruit. They are susceptible to general predators like birds, beetles and wasps- and you may have to combine with cultural controls like the application of Kaolin clay (which won't hurt beneficials) during the infestation period.
