Releasing 450,000 Predatory Mites in Our Garden! 😱🕷️🌿 // Garden Answer

[@traceynoe971]

Wow!!! I have said for years HGTV has nothing on Aaron and Laura. The camera work and production quality on this video is outstanding. So informative and interesting. Love this channel so much. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@lindaga820]

Don't know wht it 's even called home and garden, they don't have any gardening shows !!

[@margaretcolford4142]

I was thinking the same thing when we were able to see the drone shot of the drone! 😁

[@dianegoldberg1003]

This was an excellent video in every sense!!!

[@itsmewende]

I've said for yrs they should just drop the G, I watch more garden show from the UK right here.

[@PK-bh1ww]

I don't even have a TV anymore. I find so much more on You Tube. The internet is a huge research and entertainment center.

[@brainfeedersbyruru]

Laura being so terrified of possibly killing the bumble bees when spraying just proves how kindhearted she is. This channel is just the most educational and fun to watch! ❤❤❤

[@lilygirl2719]

Very kind hearted but also bumble bees pollinate her garden!

[@Terry-lh8cn]

Kind hearted yes, but also the responsible thing to do. Bees are dying off at alarming rates and we need them. Bumblebees pollinate tomatoes.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

I feel the same! 💛🐝🖤 💚🪴🤎

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Same - I never imagined finding this subject so interesting and he explained it so well!

[@crystalbritch2244]

Wow!!! Laura and Aaron combining cutting edge technology with agriculture to protect our beneficials is wonderful!!! I work at a career center, and we have programs for 3d printing, web design, animal systems, along with natural resources only to name a few. I am always trying to find ways to show how the programs can be interconnected and this video showing how technology can be so effective in saving our plants and at the same time protecting our beneficials is the true message. I plan to show this video to some of our instructors so they can use it as an educational tool in their programs. It is important for young students to visualize how their future career goals also have an ecosystem of their own!!!

[@beachgal1835]

This is better than HGTV because they have no gardening shows anymore. You and Aaron are good custodians of our earth. Thank you for that. I so enjoy these videos and they are top quality.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

I share your disappointment with HGTV no longer having gardening shows. Gardening By The Yard was one of my favorites.

I’m a micro flower farmer here in the Willamette Valley. I LOVE this!! Our native pollinators need us, we’re loosing them. This is so awesome that you decided to use beneficials instead of ANY type of spray. This really helps spread good information that is desperately needed. AMAZING❤️🌻👨🏻‍🌾💐

[@courtneycullen6289]

Hahaha! I thought the same thing. Can he release chelated iron too?

😂 @Courtney that's a great idea!

[@bethweidner9686]

Kinda surprised we didn't hear him gasp or even whoop!

[@ontarioyamon]

I don’t know why but Aaron’s drone footage (with accompanying music) of the drone in action drove me to tears! It was so well done and I found myself thinking how far we have come and how my parents and grandparents (all farmers and of course simple gardeners) would never have imagined such a thing. Well done Laura and Aaron for striking a chord!

[@OldReddingFarm]

I would say what a good sport for being on camera but imagine all the additional attention he's getting to his business! The garden answer impact.

[@ritasicari7518]

He was very good on camera, too. Very at-ease and personable.

[@dianequist835]

This is exactly the approach I have hoped you would ultimately take in your gardening journey. My father in law was an entomologist who worked in education at the university level, but also for Colorado Extention Service here in the grand valley of Grand Junction, CO, primarily with the orchards. Getting growers on board with this method was always his goal, leaving harmful pesticides a thing of the past. It is not an easy goal to accomplish a lot of the time, but with exposure and education, it is definitely a far greater way to proceed.

[@alfp8765]

THIS!!! I am over the moon they're trying natural methods now. They have such a massive following and the spraying was definitely influencing others which completely broke my 🤍. In fact I stopped watching for a while because of it.

[@GardenKath]

I agree, this is a huge evolution of thought, and I’m glad to see it.

[@dianequist835]

@GardenKath I absolutely agree!! There is SO much more to gardening than planting things. There is also the responsibility of being a sustainable gardener. This is a good step.

[@melissagarcia8383]

When we lived in El Paso,Tx we went to a Ladybug release held by a local Pecan Farm. They hold one every year to open the season and they make it a family event. Families bring their lawn chairs and blankets. Children get to run around and play. Then they bring out bags of ladybugs and the children get to open them and release them. I thought it was a great idea to bring awareness to the community and that was the first time I learned how beneficial ladybugs are to the ecosystem. 🐞

[@708exchangeyours6]

Thank U So Much for sharing, this idea is great and fun also

THIS IS SO COOL! I love that Aaron used his drone to get footage and I love love love that you are saving the sleeping bumblebees. I am having a huge bee year too and they are SO CUTE sleeping on/in flowers, like they got drunk on nectar and just decided to rest. So far (fingers crossed) bribing my huge bird population with seed has kept the pests down. If only they would scare off the tomato stealing raccoons!

[@lindaga820]

Love those bumblebees they are so cute !!

[@jhdtanglewood]

I agree. The drone footage of the drone at work was wonderful!

[@gardengal26]

It has been a really big bee year for me as well, especially the bumbles. I catch them hanging out and snoozing under leaves and flowers - now I know they are the males.😉🐝

[@emeraldtownpaula7570]

Love your comments! Great sense of humor!👍😁

[@hawkeye9382]

Make your own ghost pepper or jalapeño spray. Boil water then put hot seeds in it. When it cools, strain and bottle the water. Spray on your tomato plants and around the yard. Raccoons will leave them alone. Apply again after it rains!

[@Patricia-lg8vg]

releasing the mites with the drone - (and what a drone!!!) So so cool! Thank you Aaron for your drone shots! Thank you Laura and Aaron for all you share and do for all of us and taking us with you on this neat adventure! Learning about these beneficial predators will be my new thing to geek out about!

Wow! I have honey bees, wish the big corn farmers around here would turn to this method. I lost 7 hives of bees one year to them spraying insecticide. I sometimes have to use insecticides myself but am very careful in what (organic) and when I use them. Thanks for sharing. Hope this idea continues to grow and becomes widely used. NC

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Sorry you lost so many bees one year due to pesticides. We need bees! Is there any way to educate the farmers in your area about the use of beneficials? If not the farmers maybe the local extension office? Someone has to start caring about limiting the use of pesticides without questioning the effects on all of us.

[@gardengal26]

I'm in southern NJ and my neighbor who raises bees told me that farms within a certain distance have to notify her if they are spraying. Maybe she's registered somewhere? This was a few years ago that she told me. Interestingly, one farm now has their own bees for selling honey and they help with pollination. I imagine they completely changed up how they deal with pests.

Laura---after your pond is finished, you should buy some native frogs and toads for it. Then, get a bunch of solar lanterns around your gardens. The frogs will be natural pest killers! They're so good for the garden.

I'm so very disappointed that poisonous, cancer causing chemicals are still sold in every garden center and big store retailers. A lot of them are band in Europe. For years now I haven't been using chemicals for my lawn. I'm going to start gardening in raised beds. This information was so helpful. As more chemicals are being added into our food chain; we all need to be aware and responsible consumers. Thank you for posting this video! This is the beginning for many of us.

The "Storm of the Century" here in Central Texas in February 2021 knocked out our local bumblebee population. We have a single bed of 10 Mystic Spires Blue Salvia that we've planted since 2020. In 2021, we had ZERO bumblebees. In 2022, we had at most two late in summer. This morning, that bed had 11-12 along with other native Texas bees. It's been a good year for them, even more than in 2020. So, I can appreciate someone doing what they can not to harm their bumblebee populations. :)

As a former grower we had 30'X96' hoop houses that had 3 sets of A-frames made out of conduit (4 rungs) that held several hundred hanging baskets. In one house we grew impatient and double impatiens only. Well guess what THRIPS love! Almost lost the entire crop and quickly learned about thrips (had never seen nor dealt with these nasty plant eating bug bugs before). Then my plant/seed salesman walked in and immediately diagnosed my problem, and since this was many years ago we did use chemicals to spray😢, after a few applications bugs gone and plants rejuvenated, yay!

Several years ago I had a horrendous Japanese beetle problem. I couldn’t even think of using chemicals. I was pulling them off by hand but it became too much. After two consecutive years of using beneficial nematodes, I’ve spotted less than a handful of JBs TOTAL in several years. This year I had three rhododendrons get heavily infested by whiteflies…my first encounter with them. I pruned, blasted with hose, and did a couple of rounds of neem/soap. The shrubs were no longer in bloom. This took care of most of them but while heading out on an errand one day, I had a single ladybug in my car. I captured her in a cup and brought her back home and placed her on the center shrub. I still had some lingering flies but she took care of the rest for me! I love that more people are being more cautious. Beneficial really do work! I continually try to educate friends/family in avoiding the big box store chemical methods. This was so fun to watch! Thanks for all the great information.
