Organic Pest Control - End Problems with Bugs Forever in Your Garden

[@mamaspooky7806]

Josh is by far one of the best youtube speakers I've listened to in a while. This was a very informative video with a brief history on big agriculture companies and the history of Neem. I didn't know anything about neem until I watched this video. Thank you John for allowing Josh to educate the public.

[@annelapham8319]

Mama Spooky His name is John , not Josh.

[@annelapham8319]

anne lapham sorry, didn't read your whole post.

[@cnel5552]

I agree that was an excellent video. I'd like to see more of Josh.

[@cnel5552]

This is my first garden. I wish I had this knowledge in the summer but it will benefit me in the future.

[@clarence8019]

+C Nel please make sure you get 100% organic cold pressed neem. beware the stuff in retail stores. read label. they will say they are toxic to aquatic because of the other gunk in there. Its what i started my garden with, but i did nothing like the real neem. real cold pressed neem is nearly solid below 70F. warm it under sink.

[@DabneyFountain]

Great guest , articulate, informative, entertaining, thanks, John.

[@jamesdaniel2363]

Agreed..... 1st: His theme song is Reggae; 2nd: He's from Northern California; 3rd: He's DAMN GOOD at growing things; 4th: He knows what California Tomatoes are and he gives Josh Cunnings's "tomatoes" the HUUUGE thumbs up; 5th: He gets paranoid that the cops are searching his home for "illegal" growings; Love this guy

[@Itsjustkarissa]

Is anyone watching this in 2020 and loving it??? This video is amazing still to this day. Learned so much. Josh is so cool and well versed in his speech! Would like to see him again in your future videos if you’re still friends!

[@meatitube]

Thanks John! I really appreciate your dedication to the whole process. Josh's info is awesome. Love the energy as well! 1 love!

[@brittanytennyson8685]

Just wanted to say thank you! I've had a hard time with cucumber beetles (grrrrr) and tomato hornworm. I don't care for marigolds and don't want to plant those to deter these pests!!! I used your neem oil and sal suds combo and spray x 1 week and also have used your rock dust! I can say that I have had many many less pest problems problems this year with my very small garden (yet very precious) of heirloom plants! Thank you so much! I'm learning so much!!!

[@brigittelm6054]

Brittany Tennyson We just check for hornworms and remove then to bug jug of water later into compost pile.Hope you heirloom garden is blooming and well.

[@magepalm7416]

Omg I just laughed my head off so hard, the ad I got when I started this video up on my Xbox was from roundup rofl suckers! :D I love this channel so much, planting my garden seeds this evening and getting my ducklings Wednesday! Gonna convert my old refrigerator to an aquaponic set up with some tilapia as soon as I figure out what all equipment I need and get it, so thankful for the wealth of information this man has shared I would still be struggling to figure things out as I go if it weren't for him doing this! Also for all of you interested if you haven't already, even if you haven't started yet, join your local master gardeners if your area has one!!!! You'll learn a SO much, and you can pass on the information learned here to people that don't have KZbin and prompt the ones who do to check this guy's channel out!

[@snailmailmagic1133]

I have watched many videos and you are one of the guy who covered most pointers on driving bugs away naturally! Appreciate it !

[@loganhailey6723]

Badass video! Very informative and enjoyable to watch. The only thing you forgot to discuss was the time of day to spray foliar applications. Spraying in broad daylight can disrupt the chloroplasts of leaves and cause sun scorch/burn. It is usually recommended to only use foliar sprays early in the morning or in the evening when it is cooler and the sunlight is not direct. Thanks!

[@BoogieBrew]

Logan Hailey VERY important point! Thank you for the reminder.

[@mavislivingstone2793]

hello this my first exp with gardening to make a good try thanks

[@brigittelm6054]

Mavis Livingstone How your garden going?

[@13thDiscipleU]

How often are we suppose to spray

[@redwine1082]

I found another great all natural replant that you can make at home. Blend 1 large onion, 6 gloves of garlic, 1 TB hot chili pepper, 1 tsp Dr, Brauners Sal Suds soap, mentioned in the video. Mix all of this into 1 gallon on hot water, let this sit for 1-2 days. strain, use a spray bottle to spray your veggies. You'll need to re-apply after it rains. Don't stand down wind from the mist. Works great! Rinse veggies before eating :)

[@jasonharrold6686]

I have VERY HOT peppers. I use the video mix often and some times the wind changes and i get some on my clothes or inhale a bit.... i could NEVER imagine using a hot pepper in this application. not to mention you may clog up your atomizer.

[@gardeningtipswithphil2244]

Great video John. Best way to go with pest control is organic, as there is no dangerous chemicals used.

[@kyledavis1642]

I have been gardening for about 2 years now. I went from not gardening at all to learning everything I could and gardening and planting everything I can possibly plant and so far i've had really good results. Like you I also add no kind of chemicals and I put nothing on my plants to prevent bugs. I've turned my garden naturally over 2 years from clay soil to rich soil, and I've actually had LESS bugs this year. I put nothing on my plants. I tried neem oil last year but that's the only thing I've ever sprayed. I don't even have a sprayer! But I currently this year started a company for selling organic plants as well as edible landscaping. I have my first hater this morning! He's accusing me of lying through my teeth that it is "not possible" to have plants like I have without having pest problems. I've only ever had cabbage worms once, and squirrels got my corn last year. That was the only two problems I've ever had. I increased compost in my soil and water less frequently now, and only in the mornings and don't have cabbage worms, and my Rottweiler handles the squirrels. My question for you is, I know you have haters with your amount of views, how do you handle those people? Do you just ignore them even when they constantly post all over your Facebook business page?

[@brigittelm6054]

Kyle Davis Hi, if you have people following you that watch, buy your products they will also step in and set people straight. You can also post "reply globally" story or my experience not combat back and forth with someone that gets riled up. As to the bugs, I was not aware of bugs around... until you fo something different or plant something they have all day and night to travel, then bred if you don't pay attention and interact with your garden there is also environment, seasonal hatching etc. Don't let crazy post-ers get you down personally, negative energy and rudeness can eminate. Counter comments that are ultra kind, positive and factual, not using the word "you..." ubless saying my experience differs and All the best to you and you garden... 😁

[@Kat777]

This was great. Thank you! I just ordered the neem oil and the sal-suds. Can't wait to use them on my garden!

[@electronic476]

Would it be possible that you have an update you can share with us?

[@AndrewSmith-cc5rt]

when using the water for this particular aplication for better wetting ability try using rain water or well water not tap water for the best results.

[@Josselynlacatracha]

Looved everything about this video. Please keep posting. I'm new at gardening so going into details about the kind of bugs that attack is great. Also, videos on what vegetables keep growing all year and which have to be pulled out at the end of the season is wonderful. THank you

[@TerenceGardner]

This video is one of the most comprehensive videos I've ever seen on anything. I love stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@joyrose2148]

thanks for the award winning lecture.

[@idragonfly]

Big thumbs up for more Josh. ~ Appreciate you both ~

[@AndyFetisov]

WOW! This natural anti pest recipe kicks ass and Deserves an awareness campaign so the farmers that have fallen victim to Monsanto can see the light. My Cali "tomatoes" and the ppl that will benefit from their purity will be happy.

[@FrancesCarolWorkman]

Yes, definitely have him back. Not only was he knowledgeable and kind of funny but he shared his recipe. I was very impressed. Thanks 😀

[@patsycav]

mix marigolds with water in a blender.Strain through a tea strainer or cheesecloth and spray on your plants.Also spray your dog in the summer. Grow them between rows of veggies and save seeds for next season. Bugs hate marigolds,chickens love them, which makes them lay more eggs. Edible for humans.

[@downbntout]

Earwigs have skeletonized my marigolds

[@patsycav]

[@sueellenmcgoey8708]

Had a hard time battling garden pests last year,I think you just made my life so much better!!!! Great job many thanks!!!!

[@LadyDistelfink]

The best strategy to deal with pests long term is to attract beneficials. Plant yarrow, basket of gold, peppermint etc. to attract hoverflies, parasitoid wasps and ladybugs - they'll take care of those aphids and other bugs. Attract birds to your garden and they'll keep the caterpillars at bay. Beneficials never eliminate pests completely, but they definitely control them. Plus all the flowers look nice and attract pollinators!

[@threepingsthree]

I'm going down that road of benificials. My garden is now near the 50/50 mark of beinificials/production plants. many pests are no longer a problem, but some will not yield to benificial insects, mainly harlequin bugs, and bean beetles. both of these pests aren't just problems they cause catastrophic damage to my crops. I've still not sprayed, but its at the point of either i spray, or I don't grow the effected crops.

[@LadyDistelfink]

Tyler Blair good to hear that this strategy is working good for you! I think we have to be very patient with nature, some things need their time to balance out. In the meantime, I think it's okay to use some organic pesticides like neem oil, plant teas, baking soda ect. applied very specifically to protect you plants. I don't know where you are located in the world, maybe those pests aren't even native to your continent and maybe they don't even have natural enemies amongst the beneficials.

[@BoogieBrew]

Appreciate the feedback and yes indeed, stand corrected on just who developed chemical weapons. Certainly, post World War II there was an explosion in pesticide use and the proliferation of chemical weapons coincided with the pesticide boom in a rather sinister manner.

Bring Josh back! He's a little sales pitchy, but his info is superb! His delivery is also refreshing and honest.

[@CannaHeaven]

Pressure spraying with water helps, but the best solution is pressure spray them with water and a drop of natural dishwashing soap. The soap will wash away a protective layer on the pests skin/armor and makes them deadly vulnerable to the elements. A little sunshine and wind will do the rest.

[@erasmomartinez867]

Add 2 tablespoons of neem oil and sal suds soap to a gallon of water and spray as needed?

[@2008calander]

[@gonepestcontrol9807]

As you probably already know, Australia is home to several different household pests. These creatures can turn a normally peaceful home into an chaotic environment. Pests can not only creep you out, but they can also do a lot of damage.

The Hudson sprayer actually looks like fun. I always have so much trouble with those 3gal pump sprayer that I've given up. Thanks for all that info. Another good one John.

[@nancyfahey7518]

Also, those little beetles on the kale tree, I put a bucket of water out on my porch with a small shop lite clamped above it over nite. In the morning there are a hundred drowned beetles.

[@kiya4276]

Why not use companion planting as well to help? For example, I got onions, chives, and basil around my tomato and pepper plants to protect them from most of the pests otherwise would get.

[@JTBear]

+Jocelyn Chapman - How does that work out for you? I'm just looking into starting a new soil garden and trying to get more info on companion planting and organic solutions ...

[@kiya4276]

+JT Bear I haven't been using it long, but I don't notice those target pests on my plants (I do get other pests though). I would say that you do need to be deliberate in the varieties you buy, as some repel better than others and some don't work at all.

[@JTBear]

Thanks for getting back to me!

[@Nobody-11B]

Polly-culture and companion planting along with vertical grows, boxes and keeping plants off the ground. Even that's not 100% but everything helps.

[@Boz1211111]

Downvotes are for wasting too much time while im burning in pests i want help not f story

[@DR-zt9gs]

I make my own bug repellent from cold-press olive oil, garlic cloves and hot pepper seeds. I let them sit together in a jar for a period of time, strain the solids out and put into a sprayer along with some water. In addition, depending on what I am spraying, I consider adding additional fresh herbs and essential oils to the mix, by considering the companion planting methodology. So very similar to what is suggested here in the video, I just don't use the sudsing (soap) additive. This has worked for me often over the last few years.

[@zebclark9288]

Organic is the only way to go. I went that way this year and wow what a garden.

[@colbys1257]

My favourite internet gardener. I live on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island...BUGS rule here. I have been building lush amazing soil for 6 years here, and despite the constant rainfall here it is pretty rich...I always add heaps of good stuff, compost, chicken shit, seaweed, other goodies...but the bugs keep coming. Leaf hoppers, aphids, white fly, snails, slugs, tiny centipedes, leaf miners, white butterfly...and I'm in constant battle just to keep leaves on my plants. Overall my garden looks great, but close up it looks like green lace. Between hand picking bugs, spraying with neem, garlic, lavender, soap, foliar food sprays, and lots of companion planting I manage to get lots of great food from my garden...but the battle with bugs is endless. Still completely worth it though.

I forwarded to see what you saw. I wish doctors had the remains given a proper burial. It seems terribly disrespectful to place human remains in jars and sit on a shelf. They are people, after all, in utero, dead due to pesticides. Bury them with respect.

I use pyrethrin for above ground pests and neem for soil pests in a soil drench. Weems to work fine. Nice pepper harvest John. Love the colors. :)

[@BlackJedi169]

Your Video Tapes are very good.

[@Pinkenstein]

Isn't pyrethrin non-organic?

[@johnkirby5637]

Pyrethrin is a derivative from the chrysanthemum flowers , it is almost as deadly as it's cousin arsenic. They are both organic, so I suppose you choose your own organic poison. I use neither one. All things organic are not necessarily good, do your research and choose organic products that do no harm to your own health!

[@Pinkenstein]

john kirby Thanks for the clarification. What is it that you yourself use? I am just starting out growing my own food, and I still have a lot to learn on this topic.

[@MRFUCR]

Wont that harm cats?thats what i heard,but dogs no, any input out there about this?

[@attrezzopox]

That's an awful lot of preaching to only get it kinda right. Sal Suds' main active ingredient is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (sodium dodecyl sulfate) which IS a man made chemical. It was chosen for the soap because it breaks down in SOIL very quickly. (Not necessarily on the leaves of plants) I'm not sure it would be a good choice in your garden compared to the choices at your hated local hardware store. About half of the junk in the hardware store he's on about contain Neem oil as an active primary ingredient. Many others include spinosad or BT both organically derived. Spinosad is derived from naturally occurring bacteria, and BT IS bacteria that naturally occurs in soil. Many of the others include Pyrethrins which are derived from Chrysanthemums and kills almost any bug. Your dog tick wash probably has this in it as an active ingredient. Or Copper as an anti-fungal or snail/slug deterrent or killer. Copper is pretty toxic to invertebrates that's why it's use in "anti-fouling" paint on boats. Barnacles and other aquatic life won't attach to the paint because it's full of copper and the copper kills them. As NATURAL as all of that seems the problem isn't that they're made from man-made chemicals. (You know like Sal Suds) But that they're overused. This is not an argument against the efficacy of this mixture as a treatment. Only against it as the BEST treatment. Mono-cropping encourages all pesticides be used as a cure-all and when used that way they do all do more harm than good. The comparison is something like eating carrots and tomatoes. Eating fresh carrots and tomatoes is almost unarguably good for you. Except when that's all you eat. Then you turn orange. And if you never eat anything else, you'll die of protein deficiency. In a garden if you're too liberal with pesticides you kill predators and pests and disrupt any balance there might have been. This makes you functionally dependent on pesticides. You're garden gets addicted to it like a drug. Overuse of pesticides will lead to NEEDING to overuse pesticides. It's far better to plant a sacrificial season to bring back all the beneficial predators and when you do start harvesting again treating for specific pests where there is a specific and notable problem on specific plants. With all the preaching about the fire and brimstone pesticides at your hardware store I'm not sure that point was hammered home nearly as well. Too much pesticide no matter how natural or biodegradable, is still a BAD thing. My advice to anyone caring to read this is to actually go to your home depot or lowes or wal mart and read the labels of the pesticides there. Then research the ingredients. Take your phone and take a photo. If you've ever been in the over-the-counter drug isle you'll start to see some similarities. Most of the products are simply re-branded slight remixes of EXACTLY the same stuff. If you treat specific problems using good judgement and conservative application your garden will do better on it's own. Here's a mixed-fact link about SLS and why you probably shouldn't spray it on your garden edibles. smartklean.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/top-10-reasons-to-avoid-sodium-lauryl-sulfate/

[@katiepierce9898]

Bt is REALLY bad stuff. It was created and it is out of control.

[@attrezzopox]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis Created by God? Yes... Out of control? Maybe... If a naturally occurring bacteria can be out of control then I suppose we should be more worried about things like lactobacillus or treatment resistant e-coli. Judging by your comment, genetic engineering or selective breeding of BT is a likely specific target of your criticism. That being the case it would be consistent to leave corn, tomatoes, European traditional vegetables, potatoes, out of your garden... I could go on. Anyway, those were all and are all, selectively bred (genetically engineered by humans) and have been for thousands of years. Corn is so different from its ancestors that it has no natural habitat without human symbiosis. Meaning, if we stop planting it corn goes extinct. They don't even know what it might have been bred from as there aren't any plants similar enough to it to compare it with that currently exist in the wild. Then we carry that over to animals and we lose all European livestock. Cows, goats, chickens, pigs. You name it... gone. All of them were selectively bred. Genetically engineered over centuries. For that matter why don't we start in on non-natives. That's a fun discussion in environmental engineering. On the plus side we lose Carp and Kudzu, on the negative we lose honeybees and wheat on the american continents and Europe loses chocolate, potatoes, and corn. Good luck with time travel. That's the only way you'll be able to eliminate plants and animals genetically altered by humans.

[@katiepierce9898]

Bt destroys the digestive system of insects and humans.

[@attrezzopox]

+Katie Pierce please cite your source. Jenny McCarthy put her clothes on and said vaccines cause autism. That doesn't make it true.

[@attrezzopox]

+Katie Pierce I should also point out BT occurs naturally in dirt. I think if the effects were that alarming we'd be extinct by now. Dihydrogen monoxide after all is LETAL in high enough doses. Does that mean we shouldn't use it to fertilize our gardens?

[@fragartyparty]

Still a great video 10 years later

[@jo232409]

MORE JOSH! I've also been dealing with mold on my squash. I found a milk/water solution whereas you mix 40% milk to 60% water. It does appear to work, but it requires lots of treatments, like 3-5 days consecutively. It's also really important to just pull any leaves that have thick powder. I continue to struggle with it because my rows are covered, and I think the mold is just breeding in there. Over thanks giving break I think I'll finally bust the mold with daily treatments. I'll pick up a hudson fogger next spring for the local gardening community, I bet I can get $5-$20 per spray, and after a year it will pay for it's self. I wish I had the need to pick this up right now, cause your price is $50 cheaper than Amazon!

Grow a tobacco plant. Soak the leaves in water and spray your plants with the water. I had a lot of success with this last year. And humming birds love tobacco plant flowers.

[@carolburnett8372]

SeanPatrickMedia Tobacco is a natural poison, so you can make your own pesticide and not smoke it.....lol

[@josephkennedy8053]

+SeanPatrickMedia LOL! You are making raw neonicotinoids! Monsanto's Round-Up is made from Tobacco plants and are neo"nicotin"oids (as in nicotine). This is what is killing bee's and pet's and people. Google it. You're making and using poison.

[@starinthesky1520]

+SeanPatrickMedia Historically, most cases of nicotine poisoning have been the result of use of nicotine as an insecticide. More recent cases of poisoning typically appear to be in the form of Green Tobacco Sickness or due to accidental ingestion of tobacco or tobacco products or ingestion of nicotine-containing plants. I feel so sorry for the how many people reads your comment and applied it. If you don't believe what I just said go to wiki. or google

[@mathehack1]

haha these replies, hate to break it to you peeps but tabacco is a natural plant. which can be grown organically.

[@victoriabaker4400]

Yes, tobacco creates a potent insecticide and organic gardeners have known about it for hundreds of years. However, it is completely INDISCRIMINATE in what it kills. That is why we don't use it. It kills everything, including bees and the good bugs that eat the pests we don't want. And, it does absolutely nothing to build soil or plant immunity, unlike some other options, including the neem presented here.

I learn so much from your videos! This one was filled with information. Thank you! I am very blessed to have an abundance of ladybugs in my area and believe me, I am grateful. An all natural pesticide that generations of my family has used is tobacco. Whether you grow your own and dry it or go to the tobacco store and get it already bagged doesn't matter. It works the same. Soak dried tobacco in water. I use 5 gallon buckets. The longer you soak it, the stronger the water. Spray it on the plants. This has no effect on any kind of mold or fungus. It is particularly good at stopping leaf cutters. It has no effect on the taste of fruits and vegetables but I do not spray when the plants are in bloom.

[@peabrain8647]

you could not use tobacco for plants susceptible to TMV like tomatoes.. it would be a disaster.. its good that you have ladybugs coz a lot of people culture that just for pest control.

[@sibalogh]

What is the benefit of lady-bugs?

[@barbtalbott8911]

JOHN YOUR YOU TUBE SHOWS ARE GREAT THANK YOU sooo much for taking the time to share your expert knowledge

[@kabirghafari6810]

good information infested by plug-ins of products...

[@cristianalpha7257]

"An oz of prevention is worth a lb of cure."

[@thuffman44]

Excellent information. Neem is such a basic element that I have forgotten while trying to learn how to be a more successful gardener.. I need to apply this ASAP to my backyard garden. Thanks as always for the video.. nicely done

[@jasonbellky]

Thanks a bunch John!! And your buddy Josh is pretty awesome too!! I bought the Neem Oil and Sal Suds and Rid Bugs. I love being Vegan and love watching your videos and learning

[@LakierosJordy]

This could've been a five minute video.

[@jbyrd8282]

So could most of his videos. At least he had great advice- they are usually worth the time investment- I have watched 5min videos and forgotten the info 5min later. Jon's videos are like mini lectures and his info seems to stick- even with his rambling ;)

[@Mel0nMauler]

This SHOULD've been a five minute video.

[@SpencerBeale]

This episode shouldn't have taken longer than 15 minutes. Good information, but way too much repetition of the same thing. Please limit Mansanto bashing to no more than 2 minutes. It is necessary to bring awareness to their atrocities, but we don't need 10 minutes of it; The video is about your recipe, not Monsanto's recipe. Overall: good information. I definitely learned some techniques to help with my garden. Thanks for posting.

[@harvdog26]

You guys are rock stars! Josh's techniques on pest controll are spot on, thanks for the insight. Seriously, very inspiring. Cheers for contributing to the preservation of our Mother Earth and for expressing the potential of counsious gardening =)

[@conniejofoster9180]

The episode with Josh was very informative. I use neem oil but the dr bronners soap product was new to me. Thanks a lot. You are both very knowledgeable and I appreciate the learning opportunity.

[@dbwilliams511]

like the show but he talks way to much

[@IsolatioN4200]

tru dat...LOL

[@RoZeGr]

dbwilliams511 i don't mind

[@paulf6784]

dbwilliams511 cuz he's a stoner.

[@skyfairy1959]

major stoner!

[@guysolis5843]

So now you worship the maker of the video? How does that work? I would rather have a bitchin' 14 minute video than a 33 minute video...oh...I paused 1/2 way through...too much talk. Does this formula kill earwigs or not?

[@alsdjfknbo]

I don't mind little bugs. but the snails are what kill me. I've been at war with them since time began. They eat the seedlings before they ever get chance to grow.

[@brianbeck2865]

Copper might help. If you have raised beds you can place along top as a cap and think they won't cross. if on the ground I think John may have discussed in another of his videos.

[@TheRidestv]

bury a cup of beer in between your plants not a joke will literally eliminate all slugs/snails old Scottish trick if I remember my source right.

[@dakrul7059]

RidesTV Slugs really like beer, so you draw all the slugs from your neighbours right to your garden.

[@TheRidestv]

Da KruL to their death though, so really you are just helping the whole neighborhood

[@Anamericanhomestead]

I figure out how to get rid of the slugs...EASY! Go get a bag of agricultural use lime. The kind that is used on gardens and grazing fields. Mix up a gallon of water and one heaping cup of lime and mix well. Then pour that on base of the plant. Works on my brassicas that the slugs love. No SLUGS!

[@jasonrtz]

I live in SWFL and there is no shortage on insects here. Been using neem to treat my fruit and trees and it has worked very well. My garden has suffered from the bugs in the past. In three years I have yet to get any kind of melon due to the bugs. So I just built a 32'X48' greenhouse. Hopefully this will solve my problems.

[@KAydelott7]

I just want to let everyone know that this shot actually works. Allll the flies and muted that were killing my plants are gone. Idk if they’re dead or magically disappeared but they’re GONE! Thank you sooooo much!!!! I’m praying this feeds my plants, but if not I’m still extremely happy.

[@isatoro77]

I tried to listen to him but he spoke tooo much :( so what do I do?!?!!

[@eleanorerosanova7538]

It was horrific seeing unborn babies in jars, as well as other animals. :(

[@BoogieBrew]

Eleanore Rosanova Yes those images are disturbing, but they show only a peek at how bad our polluted world is....More horrific still is the continued use of ALL mankind's evil chemicals, which continue to wreak havoc to our whole planet.

[@mma9fan]

joe mama you must be one of those sick corps eaters

[@theblankman5036]

John I have to say I really enjoy your personality and style of videos, and your videos are so informative!!!!

[@iPadTravelApps]

John, excellent functional education, thanks for getting Josh on the video. Please, get us more info and keep it up. Forget the detractors forever.

[@madtaxpayer5818]

no more josh, this went from informative video title to a 30 minute long commercial...shm...almost sat forward and changed it but i was being lazy

[@MarinusKelfkens]

Had to dislike due to the pesticide Nazi BS

[@vaicom22]

I like you videos but I think you should really try to get to the point when your talking. You lose interest by having such long videos.

[@kristi-annespoljaric8043]

Wow so many opinieted people here, less judgements and more gardens jeez I learned a few things from this video, love you guys for info and clear explanations , cheers

[@Sauciflash]

I enjoyed the bit on the origins of pesticides and the stories about neem.

[@SokemRokemRobot]

This video's time could have been cut in half, if the "green" propaganda and the advertisement for the sprayer was left out. How can I trust everything this guy says, if it sounds like he's working for the product's producers?

[@brigittelm6054]

SokemRokemRobot John shares what he personally uses and loves, many items he talks about or companies are not well known or mainstream. So things like seed companies, products he gets excited about in his shares. He all so has video where he goes to conventions and tells the good and bad, company products he is trying or has been seeking and finslly found. Enjoy!

[@tbarnes3441]

Nice commercial

[@rylercalabrese7476]

GREAT VIDEO..JOSH DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS PRESENTATION..VERY INFORMATIVE AND CLEARLY EXPLAINED.

[@Mr13Gauthier]

Thanks for all that info. Great Stuff. Had those same problems when I lived in Sebastopol. Live up by Yosemite now and still have the powdery mildew problems. There's a few vineyards around but nothing like Sonoma County.
