We set out bowls of water with rocks that break the surface for wasps to access. Wasps wipe out the cabbage loopers for us. They patrol our gardens and are voracious feeders on pest insects. Have done this for years and we’ve yet to be stung or bitten.

Lucky you! I got stung on the stomach this autumn... I went out to the hoop-house in a yellow t-shirt on a cool morning and the wasp probably went underneath it to warm up. I generally leave wasps alone as long as they don't bother me, they do get aggressive in the autumn in my opinion

Mmmm potato & kale soup ! This is so awesome to watch on warm up break after I rake piles of leaves over another fallow patch of ground just before Holidays. Adding alfalfa & compost to beds I started w/ stale bed method last season. Year 2 is exciting. Merry Christmas to the whole Neversink Farm family.
