Keep Pests Off Kale For Good!

[@pamwittman4832]

Your kale looks great! I also had best success growing kale with a mesh netting. It seems like after it rains, the pests come! Check plants regularly to keep them healthy. I use ECOS fruit and veggie wash when I bring my leafy greens home.

[@Mrsmcchiggins]

Thanks for giving me the confidence to try to grow kale again ☺️

[@Faith9120]

do you keep the netting on all the time or just apply in the evening or?

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

You can use it all the time.. except when you’re picking-harvesting. 🙂

Thanks for your advice 👍 I love your hat. I need one for gardening. Can you please provide with the link where to buy one? Thanks

[@yogigardens]

I got that hat from target!

[@Splendid123456789]

Thank you for your video! Do you remove the netting every time you water, then put it back on or are your plants on a drip system? 🌻

[@robingalloway3541]

Will this also help with aphids?

When to grow kale , i mean in which season? I'm based in south africa.

[@yogigardens]

Kale is best the cooler it is. So spring or fall

Ughhh we have spider mites & aphids ALL over our kale & pepper plants 😑 about to try neem oil!

[@yogigardens]

I use insecticidal soap for spider mites. Seems to work well!

[@robertamaral907]

What do you think of the dish soap method?

[@yogigardens]

You mean drowning them in soapy water? I do that with some bugs. Mainly for japanese beetles. But would work for other bugs as well. The cabbage moths are not easy to catch so thats why i use the netting instead. In my area that is what I'm dealing with the most

[@RobertLaTuso]

How long after foliar spraying plants with Neem oil is it safe to harvest or consume the plant material? (I’m looking at you…Kale and Brussels Sprouts ;)

[@yogigardens]

I'd harvest before I spray. Then after harvest about 5 days later. You can also easily wash neem oil off

[@papaleecrosby9412]

something ate all 30 of my kale plants last night the whole plant was gone they were about an inch high.would it be a Mouse ?

[@christinekennedy6263]

Mice, bunnies, chipmunks

[@heather7314]

I still find that bugs get under the netting. My kale is infested with aphids and I had a netting over it. I’m not sure what happen

[@mcmag888]

Neem oil mixed with Castile soap will take care of aphids when sprayed on weekly, also diatomaceous earth work wonders for almost all pests and bugs dusted once a season

[@yogigardens]

I blast aphids with water or kill them by rolling my fingers over their soft little bodies. Also insecticidal soap is great for organic gardening. You can make your own or buy it

[@adamkrasneski3679]

Had a real issue w cabbage worms/moths exclusively. Solved w rough recycled netting. Then, the kale finally went to seed and aphids are eating all the seed pods. So frustrating.

[@yogigardens]

Aphids are lretty easy to get rid of! I either roll my finger over them or blast them with water. They die so easily. Insecticidal soap can work too

[@johnsegura1093]

I hate all bugs equally . Lol. (Kidding, but sort of not).

[@flashy5150]

It’s real easy when you live in a southern state like California 😜
