With the bird feeders and seeds in the garden, do you also attract rats?

[@bycfr08]

Hi Gary, are wasps beneficial? Good to know.

[@lindahipple4817]

Hi Gary, I found by placing an assortment of Wren houses around the property, the Chickadees and Wrens moved in and raised their families. I read an article in Smithsonian mag by a biologist that decided to count the caterpillers that the chickadee parents brought to the chicks. He counted 1100+ caterpillars per chic in 14 days! Wow it worked! My garden is well patrolled, and the birds have become tame, and the pest pressure has become reduced! The brassicas are under netting, one mistake I made is the frame wasn't high enough or wide enough and the moths laid their eggs on the leaves that were against the mesh. So next year I will have to build a larger support frame. Love your informative videos. God Bless.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I was reading about C and W last night. Most birds switch to insects to feed their young. I was thinking the same thing about leaves touching. I will dedicate an area. Ill still spray but I just want to reduce it drastically. Do the wren and chickadee house vary drastically from bluebird houses.

My brassicas had multiple problems in the past but now I cover them with floating row covers and it keeps out those white cabbage moths. They can’t lay their eggs and the larvae wont be there to munch all my leaves and attack the veggies.

[@Just-Nikki]

Sunflowers were a beacon for squash bugs, beetles, cucumber beetles etc for me last year. It was the first year I planted a bunch of sunflowers and the pests quadrupled for me. It was insane! I couldn’t grow them this year because of that and I’m just now putting out plants from those families this year hoping to starve them out and miss their lifecycle 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m gonna do the same with my kale this year and making screens for brassicas and squash next year as well.

What a lovely, peaceful and productive place you have made. I only have a patio and a long space along my home, but am enjoying a wildflower patch, several sunflowers my neighbor and I have planted, as well as zucchini and cherry tomatoes in smart pots. I did do a second planting of cucumbers in ground (I have had to amend a lot because of all the years the development put down products) and found the Coast of Maine mixed in with other organic soils is working very well. I did bamboo tepees for the tomatoes. I am wondering why they have stopped producing flowers though, as both the Sweet 100 and Husky Cherry Red are supposed to be indeterminate. I will be cutting them back as I harvest whole fruit clusters in hopes new growth will sprout further down. I did an experiment with a cutting early on and that cutting is starting now to show fruit. I think this was my favorite video of yours so far.

This is such an informational video with the observations made about the birds, wasps, beneficial flies, etc, coming in due to the flowers. I suspected this from my own observations just recently since I don't use dust and my squash and zucchinis are thriving. Your videos always seem to mirror what I am experiencing, they are very helpful. I also have a garden plot at a community garden that has great composted soil but a lot of people use dust and I see a difference in the number of birds and beneficial insects at that garden. I would say that dust is definitely abused by many.

Hi Gary, this is one of my favorite of your recent videos. And thank you so much, by the way, for taking the time to make your videos! I watch every one! But, for this particular video, I just love your very introspective thought process, almost like you are processing the information while you are filming. The sunflowers are gorgeous, btw. But you believe, and you may be right, that their presence, along with the other flowers, brings in birds and other beneficial insects. I happen to have a decent sized flower bed in my front yard, adjacent to half my garden, that got overrun by sunflowers this year, and I just let it go. Probably over 50 sunflower plants in a pretty small space, as well as a couple of dozen in the back yard. Is there a result? I don't know. I also have very few if any squash bugs. I occasionally see them and squish them. May be a coincidence. Also, and it may be luck or coincidence, but I have about 8 summer squash (zucchini and scallop) plants in grow bags around my garden. Last year, they all got decimated by vine borers. This year, no sign of vine borers, KNOCK ON WOOD! with BT. I had planned to encase all my brassicas in a hoop tunnel covered with insect netting, but I never completed that project. Sounds like you are also tired of spraying the brassicas. Thanks for the video and thoughts!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Very glad to make them. Thats for all the info. I think your anecdote does show that flowers help reduce the number of insects. I am thinking of netting next year.

[@adronlamb9334]

Although the cabbage moths are surprisingly difficult to catch with a net and are day active, I've found that using a Dynatrap and a bug zapper light at night really helps with moths and other insects. The Dynatrap will sometimes catch the cabbage moths. But they mostly work at night and will not harm pollinators and other beneficial day active insects. I have cut down on spraying almost entirely, and have more beneficial insects overall

I'm jealous of your cucurbits. In SC by this time there's a moth that lays eggs on them, and the larva bores holes in all of them. Sprays don't seem to help much either; I think I'd basically have to frame insect netting around them and hand pollinate.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Keep rotations of new plants going in. I am doing that now (well starting new transplants.).

You have such a beautiful garden! We live in the same area and this is my first year gardening here and you give me so much hope! Curious what you routinely spray your tomatoes with? I have been using your neem/peppermint on my cucumbers and zucchini’s after pruning and I think it’s been helping!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So my routine varies a lot so its hard to really duplicate. But I add in H202. And that helps. I use seranade on tomatoes early to help stop leaf spot, h202 works on the early blight after that.

Very informative video. Thank you. I love using the benefits of nature. This is my first year with the vegetable garden, although I've been flower gardening for about 10 years. The bird houses: I put a house in my flower garden this year. A family of tree swallows moved in, and every time I tried to visit the birds would bomb dive me. DH tried and the mom and her friends bomb dived him. Have you ever had that problem? If so, how did you handle? Our property is surrounded by acres of open fields and a creek running through our yard, two features the tree swallows prefer. Have you ever experienced problems with territorial birds? I let them stay in the house until the babies grew up and out then we removed the house. 🙁

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Not yet. But I read swallows can also kill bluebirds and if you see swallows moving in, wreck the nest. Wish I could help more. Dont forget about your fall gardens!

Jusr start a garden this year ... I always watch your videos ... I learn a lot... just wondering how long and how much did you invest on your garden?

[@kat1984]

I get awesome iridescent flies and native bees. I haven't used any insecticides/pesticides or sprays in 2 years. There's just not a good time of day to do it. It's been almost 90 degrees at 3am and 104+ during the day.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

100 degree days rolling in all next week. I am soaking everything down now. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

I'm pretty sure BT is considered part of an organic program. (BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS (BT)). It'll handle the cabbage looper problem, as well as other larvae / caterpillars as they much on the leaves. Once they ingest the BT, they stop eating, and eventually die of starvation. - RS

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

It is for sure organic. I used it before neem. Its effective but washes off easier than neem. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

Nature taking on nature. I remember when I had HUGE infestation of hornworms. and one of them had white eggs on its back. I didn't now what that was. Turned out something called a predator wasp laid its eggs on the worm and it hatches on it . .. and eats the worm alive. So I guess that's one way to get rid of hornworms with predator wasps. I've seen a huge uptick in bees. Agastache and bee balm have worked wonders and I am ordering more. They help me and I help them. I have not seen the squash vine borer this year. . . and I Hope I don't either.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Agastache is great for bees Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.

I think it's just a bad year for loopers. My brassicas all look shredded. I had them 3 weeks earlier than last year and they're everywhere this year. I have cardinal males that eat them, but they can't keep up. Fall broccoli is getting netted when it goes in.

Cucumber beetles and flea beetles are a huge huge problem for me this year. I’ve got traps out and I’ve tried using Sevin. I find a few on my zucchini, watermelon but they’re destroying my cucumbers. The flea beetles are enjoying my Brussels sprouts 😭😭

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I use dust on my eggplant as the flea beetles love them. I dust them and put a bag over them for the night. Since i dust them heavily, i dont want it drifting. It works really well,. I rinse it off in the am. Dont forget about your fall gardens!

Everything looks so beautiful and healthy! Is there a reason you don't like to use BT to deal with those white butterflies? I've been using it for pickleworms and it really seems to help. I think it's supposed to work on any worms and caterpillars.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I used Bt and it worked. I found neem worked too. It is just this 4 week period the onslaught of the white butterfly and others goes nuts. Since I am feeding the butterflies, I am getting increased damage. Ill figure something out. Dont forget about your fall gardens!

Great job! I spotted in your flower bed a plant my Mom has in her yard, I will add the time stamp location, what is the name? 16:00 in yellow flower on top looks like corn cob. We call it a tobacco plant.

Looks like a mullein plant? We also used to call it "Indian tobacco" back in Wisconsin.

[@gailgreenberg6953]

What about insect cloth or netting? Not very attractive, but it'd keep white butterflies off??? For the first time I have problems with leaf miner insects on collards and even cucumber leaves! I squash the leaves before burning but don't feel or see any insects. I've found that milk is great for mildew and early blight, even on my roses with black spot (Marsonia)!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I have used it but it so ugly too me. But I will be using it for kales full time next year. I have a plan to use milk too when the mildew arrives. Dont forget about your fall gardens!

When you replant your second set of squash, do you replant in the same spot during same year? If so, do you do anything in advance to ward off any squash bugs that were present during the first planting?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I replant in the same space and dont do anything to address the insects. They just show up no matter what. They wont hang around bare space though.

I was wondering if it would be problematic to treat your soil after pulling your vine plants? I had bad infestation of squash bugs and vine bores. They were much worse then last year, I was thinking they are living in the soil after the plants are gone from year to year? What are your thoughts?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

They find your plants. You can treat the soil but it wont stop them. Best plan is prevention spraying and dusting on the plants each year. Its a pain but that is the key.
