If you have ever been baffled about what to do to treat bugs in your garden, then you need to watch this video. David Epstein of Growing Wisdom presents this video on “Controlling Pesky Bugs in the Garden”. This video is presented in a very straightforward and easy to understand manner. Production quality is good. The total time of this video is two minutes twelve seconds.
It goes without saying that bugs in your garden can be a problem. Therefore, it is important for you to stay ahead of things and look for any evidence of bugs on your plants. You should examine your plants closely every week or so. Take a good look at them. Turn the leaves over and look for any aphids, bugs, or mealy bugs underneath the plants.
If you have found bugs on your plants, you need to act as soon as possible. This may be new territory to you, but you have several options of both organic and non-organic varieties available for treating this problem.
Organic products, or natural products, are a good choice. David recommends two organic products in this video. Kheem Oil is an insecticide and fungicide that controls aphids, mites, bite flies, and powdery mildew. All Seasons Horticultural Oil, another organic product, works by smothering the insect. Nature’s Avenger is an organic weed eliminator to try if needed.
If you prefer non-organic (and it’s okay if you do), there are products out there for you too. David recommends Sevin. He points out that if you do decide to use Sevin for your bug problems, you should not use it on anything flowering because it is very toxic to bees. When using Sevin you need to follow directions very carefully. It especially works well on the Red Lily Beetle. Another non-organic product recommended by David is Bayer, an insect, disease, and mite control.
This video is highly recommended. It will definitely make a confusing shopping trip easier for all. You should definitely take the time to watch and absorb this video.
