if you cant find neem oil then take a medium to large bottle of hot sauce with a quick squeeze of dish soap and water in a 5 gallon buckets mixed well and then spray your plants and around base of plants and cover over with the agribon clothe and that will help you big time. Neem oil is all natural.

I'm an urban backyard homesteader in NOLA but born and raised in Michigan. I'm always looking for new channels to watch, and when I saw your hat in the thumbnail, I hit subscribe. Go Blue and I'm happy to follow your journey!

The battle is real Rachel keep up the good fight come harvest time we will all be thankful we preserved.

[lauraellington]

if you have heavy pest, spray neem oil spray and cover bed over with agribon clothe. Sun and water still get in to make plant grow but helps big time against pest problems.

All the rave on one of my gardening pages for the slugs is a thin pan of beer .. the on cabbage and broccoli they “tent” them and their harvests have been spotless

[lauraellington]

another thing you can do is save your eggshells and crush them and sprinkle around edges of your garden that will cut up the slugs as well you can leave a semi flat dish or tin with a can of beer pored in it and leave it in several places in your garden, the slugs with seriously be attracted to it and drown themselves in it.

For aphids you can take nettles and let them rot in a bucket with water for a week. Spray the plants with the water. Works wonders on roses 🌹

Once the seedlings are a decent size you can simply add ducks to control slugs etc, they dont harm the plants and will move between them seeking morsels

[sentimentalbloke]

Blitz garlic and make a garlic tea bag and place it in your sprayer bottle beetles and caterpillars dont like garlic but we dont mind a little residue in a salad.

I use DE to control my flea beetles I actually put DE in a jar and use my old makeup brush and give the leaves a light dusting and make sure not to go around the flowers. I wear a mask too because it's not good to breath the stuff and it can get in the air.

The heat has hit here as well and now the storms are starting. It is wearing me out fighting the bugs through this all. I am encouraged with your video, Thank you.

I have just three raised beds and asst. pf pots. We deal with slugs and snails. May I say, big snails! We went out at night, late, with flashlights and hand picked snails and dropped into soapy water and most slugs were on side walk or where you could step on them. One big snail was rocking out on my garlic leaves.

I had heat stroke once. I’ve never been the same.

I am brand new to your channel. I was researching onions and watched some of your other videos. I fell in love with your 'Dating Your Spouse' video. Last year I had trouble with bugs that looked like Stink Bugs and voles. I feel your pain.

How often do you harvest your lettuce? I have found a few slugs around my bell pepper plants. Good info to help rid of them. Love your birds chirping away always,

[marlenereimchen]

Your garden is coming along so nicely despite the pest problem. I just finish planting mine.
