What Pest Control Should You Be Using In The Garden

Last week we discussed fertilizers, this week it's time to talk about pest control. What is a pesticide, what are the benefits of using them, and are there different types of pest control? Tonight we discuss synthetic and organic methods of controlling those pests in your vegetable garden.

GREG,..... I am impressed dude. You always kid about not good with big words. Watching this again this morning, as I do a lot and you were kickin out a plethora of information with big word names. You go boy.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thank you for the support and kind words!

[@lisawilkerson5671]

Great upload...👍My husband and I both make our living in pest control. There is a huge misconception that ALL pesticides are dangerous ☠. Oh, it can be if NOT handled correctly but keeping others informed is 💯 in safety. We started our okra under a grow light and yes, It's slow going outside right now (we are in lower Alabama). We are already seeing powdery mildew aka..."the bane of my existence" 😁 on our squash plants. I'm hoping I treated the plants in time.

[@livingeverydayoutdoors7374]

I was up your way this morning fishing and it was a bit chilly. I planted okra yesterday in my seed trays but did not think to place them on the heat mat until I watched your show tonight. Good information throughout the entire show.

[@donnastormer9652]

I planted my okra by seed a few weeks ago. They are up, no true leaves yet but don’t seem to be going anywhere. I’m sure it’s because of the cool evenings. I’ve never fed them this early before but I gave them a lite shot of 20-20-20 and they are starting to wake up. I’m in 8b.

[@Avemarianow]

Thank you for the Hoss T-Shirt I wore it today while I potted up the fig propagation successes and cleared ground for Zucchini & Melon garden patch!

[@donnastormer9652]

Talking about old timey pesticides do you all remember Lindane? That brown liquid that turned the water milky looking. WOW! That was the best flea dip ever! Taken off the market in the early 90s I think. Sevin dust saved my garden this year from the worst case of cut worm I’ve ever seen! I dusted the base of each plant after dark to minimize bee damage to my 4 hives. I hated to use it but sometimes you have to do what works after trying other products that did not.

[@ronevans852]

That’s wonderful you hit it.

[@Shelzbells]

Thanks for the great show guys....its very enjoyable, and informable

[@rachelstrahan2486]

👍 Received my package this morning with the Mother's Day bundle and a few other items. Looking forward to growing the Roselle this year for the first time. Thank you for the fast shipping and your tape on the box held up great. 😸🌱💙

[@susanbell7252]

Got my first hoss order today. Packaged so well thank yall. I got the 5 pack 12 cell trays to use for my year round lettuce in my plant closet. I watched onion videos and will try again with this candy seed and your advice. Thanks Hoss family.

[@randyczapansky7172]

I bought the cog hill sunflower collection, and they are about a foot tall can't wait till they bloom

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Going to be beautiful

[@FinznFowl82]

How bout that, I was JUST thinking I need to order some pest control stuff and I just finished spraying. I'm on a neem oil and Spinosad and BT routine. Saw a cabbage moth while I was spraying. Figured I'd try to get a head start on them.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Nice!

[@wadewitherow8782]

In formative, Thank U.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You’re welcome, Wade! Glad you enjoyed.

[@tommathews3964]

Dang if that Old Goat ain't hard to find this week! That might be him next to that jar on the top shelf behind Greg. If it is, he's on his knees hiding! But that also looks like something crammed into the butter churn on the top shelf behind Ms. Sheila! Great show on pest controls! It's that time of year! I'm guessing fungicides are coming soon! Sure hate to miss y'all in Jemison but I've got around 100 maters in the back of the truck hitting the ground tomorrow. Enjoy your stay in Alabama! (even though you crack on us all the time!) Doubt you will make it to Selma since Jason and Brooke moved, but if you do enjoy that beautiful architecture! Some of the prettiest old homes you'll find anywhere! Also my birthplace!

Great show as always, will be placing a order with y'all tomorrow. Everybody use to have those big brown glass bottles of chlorodain sitting in their shops back in the day, it killed termites and every bug that came in contact with it. Just had a chance tonight to watch last weeks show and seen i won last weeks contest, i was so surprised!I sent my info in, thank you so much for everything y'all do, Hoss Tools is a fantastic company!

nothing better in this world than getting a bowl of ice cream and tuning in to the row by row garden show.

[@Mike_B_724]

A friend of mine told me that, for soft body pests such as mites, etc., he uses a diluted solution of Hydrogen Peroxide and water in a spray bottle. He said it works well.

[@buckeyegardener]

Very informative show. Think I spotted in old goat in the violets

[@janiebray562]

What do we use on our strawberries for bugs? There are lots of them :) We bought the plugs from you guys back in the fall.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

What type of bug?

[@jimlabolito6098]

Hey Hoss, a little off topic but you mentioned salt as being toxic in large amounts. Is there a “Rule of Thumb” for how often I can use 20-20-20 before it becomes a detriment rather then a help? Let me thank you in advance for imparting your knowledge. You and MaMa Hoss have me growing things I had never tried before. Y’all are a BLESSING!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Should be part of the fertility program along with organic matter and compost

[@chelinfusco6403]

We buy all our chemicals from you guys ,that is if you have them. Did not know about the seed born pathogens in open pollinated-but it makes sense. Please plan a show about the different mildews and leaf spots, identifying the different kinds and their specific treatments. We are in SC and like you sometimes its a steam bath. Also Can a drench be used through drip irrigation?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

No.

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

I do mainly raised bed and container gardening. What can I use to control aphids?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Any of our organic controls

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you

[@sharrylou]

I used bug buster ll on my citrus tree as recommended. Since it worked, I tried on my lettuce, kale, and spinach. Now, after rain and a few days, they are bitter! Should I have not used BB ll on the leaf crops?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Should not but always check the label

[@SparksWilly]

Hi Greg, I bought the double wheel deal a nd did not get the sweeps with it... It came with 4 duck feet (which I do appreciate) but no sweeps as advertised. I also bought the success kit so I could sharpen the sweeps but like I said the sweeps never arrived. I love the wheel hoe and it’s not the end of the world... just bringing it to your attention.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

[@barbaraengle768]

Do you have a catalog or what is your website for seed buying?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Hi Barbara! We stopped printing a catalog about 3-4 years ago. Everything is listed on the site! www.hosstools.com

[@scottcolter2055]

How do you recommend I treat my cream peas? I’ve been told Sevin is the only way.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Begin treating for insects as soon as you notice signs of an infestation, the sooner you start the easier it will be to get rid of the critters. Begin with some Neem oil or horticulture oil. Bug buster 0 works great also. Below is a link to our pest control products hosstools.com/product-category/pest-control/

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

I would appreciate your advice for a reputable shade cloth source. I looked in your store and video YT video library but don't find anything on that subject. Thanks, I am in northwest Florida zone 8b. I have ordered from you guys for years. I got the double wheel hoe last year with implements and some seeds this year.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

I really don't know much about them as we have never used them.

[@jackm4714]

I look in my local junk shops and buy yards of rolls for pennies. Any will do the job.

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

@@jackm4714 First let me say I have never ever seen shade cloth in local junk shops, thrifts stores or any 2nd hand stores. I have looked at garage sales because I think it more likely they could would know the shade percentage % number of the cloth. Knowing the shade number of shade net, such as if it is 30% or 50% or 70% is critical to the effective use of shade cloth on garden crops , for instance, 30% shadecloth can prevent sunscald on peppers and tomatoes while not affecting fruit production, but 70% can cause the issue of no fruit at all.

[@jackm4714]

@@Maggie-Gardener-Maker I have in my shops, but I live very rural. I actually picked up a new soaker hose and connectors from a neighbor that had put out a "free" sign by the road yesterday. He also had shade cloth. But I hear your point on the various percentages!

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

@@jackm4714 I wish we had in ours, II have to drive a ways to get to a town that has a thrift store. I would like to get some used cheap even if for no other reason than to shade areas for me to sit... it's hot here in northwest Florida I'm in a somewhat rural area, lots of big crops fields and we have signs on the highway showing picture of a big Farm Tractor and it reads Share the Road.

[@Caseylawton]

Idk why but I always struggle with onions here in southern AZ. They never bulb very much

[@gardeningwithhoss]

What variety are you planting?

[@Caseylawton]

@@gardeningwithhoss gosh I need to track down the variety but they were short day yellow and white Onions. I've made the long day onion mistake in the past haha. Planted them in October or November I believe and they're still barely bulbing. I have a feeling that area of my garden might not get enough sun in the winter months due to the position of the sun in the sky. They're in raised beds fyi.

[@Eric-4501]

Last year our garden was inundated with Leaf Legged Bugs, I do not think that they harmed the plants but they were very annoying when we were working in the garden. What would you suggest for reducing these bugs or eliminating them?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Diatomaceous earth

[@infiniteadam7352]

3 of my Hossinator seedlings grew up to 8 inches tall and died for some reason, I know it wasn't something I did, there are 16 other plants next to them that are fine, I wonder if they had a disease un the seed.

Don’t think so. We have planted over 200 without issues

Awwwww, This time of the year makes me so sad, watching everyone planting and eating strawberries. 😏 To anyone else that is allergic, like me..I feel for ya too! May I ask what the benefits are of sunflowers?

What is best for tobacco worms on tomato plants?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

BT or sponosad

Do you have slug problems with strawberries? They ruin mine

[@gardeningwithhoss]

No slug issues,just birds

[@jackm4714]

What if you use 7 dust while preparing beds for ants etc. Before planting?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

According to the manufacturer, Sevin Dust should not be applied directly to soil that you are making. It will dissolve within the soil. It should only be used around established plants and the soil around those.
