Hi James. I love your channel❤

[@theoriginalmonstermaker]

My man James! Another great vid! The world sends it's love for the shared knowledge ; )So sry, but i have THREE different questions : 1. Have you ever tried molasses and water as organic preventative spray for leafy greens? Any success? 2. A Praying Mantis sounds like an incredible garden companion! And i never knew they grew in those "pods"! Any advice how to find and transport those home? 3. I tend to have problems with PM in my area (Powdery Mildew... Southern Ontario)... How does your spray mixture work for mildew? Recommendations to deal w that prob? Thanks again for all the time and effort you've devoted to helping ppl become a little more self sufficient (and conscious). You should be truly proud. Best.

I agree, Dr. Bronner's Peppermint is great for this, among it's many other uses, plus you can get it at Trader Joe's and Walmart. I like to add some Cayenne Powder and strain it if I'm up against something really nasty like spider mites. As Melissa added, Rosemary is a great oil to add to the mix esp. vs. mites

I have marigolds everywhere and the earwigs, mice and others are eating the marigolds. I hound thrips on my tomato leaves today, cucumber beetles on my squash and potato leafhoppers all over.

Hi James, an awesome trick for white cabbage moths is to make up some fake cabbage moths and pin them next to your cabbages. They don’t lay eggs if there is already a moth there. So glad to share.

[@ausfoodgarden]

Great video! I am definitely going to try red rocks around the strawberry plants close to fruiting time. As for your homemade spray, you've got the ingredients for lots of different sprays there too. Starting with white oil - basically 2 parts oil (I use rice bran oil as it's cheap and always in the pantry) 1 part dish soap. Great for combating scale, aphids, leaf miner etc. For the broad spectrum spray, you might want to add some dried chilli into the mix too as it's a decent deterrent to some pests. Or make 2 different sprays and rotate them as needed.

Another organic pest management strategy is fungi. King Stropharia/ red cap mushrooms are native to the NE US and the mycelium kills nematodes by strangling them and the fruit (mushroom) is edible. Earth worms also love the mycelium and we all know how great worms are in the garden. Tip: if you want to continue to harvest mushrooms, rotate them.

Thanks for your video tuck has got to be the cutest pest deterrent 🙂 I plant French marigolds and herbs all over the place. I grow my lettuce in recycled milk containers on the fence because slugs eat them every single year otherwise. Last year my beans were attacked by blackfly so this year I'm going to try everything I can think of because they wrecked my beans. I'll definitely try your garlic spray as well as companion planting and see if it prevents them.

[@melissasullivan1658]

Good morning and happy Sunday James. I’ve been trying to share my spray with as many folks as possible because it’s totally eclipsed anything I’ve used against cabbage moth destruction. Dr Bohners peppermint liquid castille + rosemary essential oil. I’m pretty sure it’s the rosemary that is making the moths avoid all of my lush leafy greens this year. They’re not even trying on my actual brassicas, it’s insane.

For variety selection, I read there is a variety of collards that are meant to be resistant to cabbage worm. They are called green glaze collards or cascade glaze collards. They have a waxy coating which is meant to impart some pest resistance. I have not tried it yet, but it sounds worth trying. For disease resistance, I am testing a variety of butternut squash that is meant to have resistance to downy mildew called South Anna butternut squash. I am in NJ as well, and the tomato disease I have the most trouble with is septoria leaf spot. This year I am trying a variety of Roma tomato that is meant to have some resistance to that, called Virginia Select Roma VF. All of them are open pollinated so you can save the seeds.

[@jamesprigioni]

That is super interesting Ron I will be looking into the green glaze collard, it would be fun to grow as a control even. I am constantly trying out a few new tomato varieties also and keeping some that are consistent winners and my favorites. I think playing with varieties is one of the most fun things about gardening 😁

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

@@jamesprigioni I grew Green Glaze Collards once, got seeds from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, which is an excellent source BTW! The leaves were indeed beautifully waxy almost like a split-leaf philodendron, unfortunately I didn't get to grow them to maturity or see them side-by-side other varieties during cabbage moth season but maybe that's a good test to run later this year :)

Dr. Bronner's Peppermint is great, about 1 TBSP per quart of water, you can add Rosemary essential oil to this for extra kick as well, against certain pests I throw in a TBSP of ground Cayenne pepper, stir and let it soak in then strain it. Definitely wear gloves and eye/face protection like a mask, you don't want to breathe it in/get it on your skin/eyes

In my own experience, you do not need to use huge amounts of mineral oil or dish soap.
