Leaf Eating Garden Pest | Neem Oil Application

[@YogiHollowFarm]

Glad you figured out what was eating the potatoes and could remedy it!

[@FrankAndTinaOfficial]

That's a great improvement. We have never used the Neem oil.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

I have been using it for a couple of years. Works really well. - Rick

[@FrankAndTinaOfficial]

@@TheLaLaFarm we will have to try it!

Army worms, interesting, great video Rick.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thank you so much Sandi! - Rick

A good lesson there Rick! You might want to set those buckets away from the others. I don't know, but it might help too. Thanks for the info.Take care!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks Michael!! - Rick

[@MyAlabamaFarmLife]

Yep! Pulled out my neem oil and sprayed my peaches! Im hoping i can get some fruit this year!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

It worked really well for the potatos and broccoli.

First, totally buy his book. It's awesome! Second, I looked up what might help you with pests and taters. Try planting some daisies and/or dill nearby to the taters. Such a bummer. I'd move those two buckets away from the others as well. I really hate that you are dealing with this issue. Glad neem oil helped. Good job!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks Paulla. The next door neighbor of that particular container, is a big container of dill. 😁😎

[@michaelmarchione3408]

Who's book Paula? I'm curious.

Awesome video Rick, Its great that the neem worked, We use neem oil when rotating products, but garden pest cant grow immune to neem so its ok to use all year after year. hope your weekend was great

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thats cool - didn't know that. - Rick

[@WhiteShouldersFarmstead]

Thank you for sharing. Great info 👍

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks for watching. - Rick

[@FlomatonFamous]

I hate army worm, I had to spray for them yesterday. I see you have a garden cat also. lol. Good video, good info.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks Randall - that cat has occupied the garden. She has left the barn colony and pretty much lives in the garden enclosure. I have not seen a rat or mouse in that area since she took up residence. - Rick

Good job Rick garden looking good when do we eat.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

My daughter and I had been harvesting our healthy silverbeet (chard). We went away for 3 days and on the fifth day I went to get some more from the garden, all the silverbeet has been chewed like your potatoes. I can’t spray anything because we are still getting daily showers. We have them amongst a lot of healthy marigolds. Unfortunately I may lose all the eatables in this spot🍺🍺

[@TheLaLaFarm]

It happened in about 3 days. It was crazy how fast the leaves got eaten. - Rick

[@PaullaWells]

That's good. I believe it needs to go to bloom to attract the parasitic wasps, if I understood what I read correctly. So, let some of them go to flower. The daisies are for the same purpose; to attract parasitic wasps. They are ruthless to the eggs/larva of that moth, but do not bother us mere mortals. 🤣

[@jesusislord2457]

I'm wondering if any of those demons are/can hide under the rim of your pots? I hope not. Thank you for sharing this information!☮️💖🙏🤜🇺🇸

[@jacquiearcher5965]

Would you please share where you purchase or order your new oil and diatamatious earth from? Thank you!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

I purchased it on Amazon. There are dozens of products on Amazon, just pick the one that is the right price for you and make sure to follow the package mixing instructions. - Rick

[@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az]

Give them to the chickens....lol

[@TheLaLaFarm]

I dont let those chickens any where near the garden. They got in last year and decimated in a single day. - Rick

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

That’s why I can’t grow stuff, bugs!
