You WON'T BELIEVE what I found KILLING the Garden!

There is something lurking in the soil killing my plants and it's not an insect! Beware because it might be in your soil as well.

Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

Just fence it and put 3 hungry chickens inside, they will clean it in no time! Might be also easier then digging and moving dirt :) Chicken police is very thorough and a great video content 😄With a bonus of tilling and fertilizing 🥰

Appreciate that you show the good, the bad, and the ugly of your garden. Even some of the best and most knowledgeable gardeners can have struggles, so I appreciate that you are showing it all on your channel.

[barbaraflagg]

Please let us know what happens with the root parasites. I hope you manage to get rid of them.

[elainelear]

One caution. Save working in the bed with the pests until last. You do not want to transfer them to other beds. Love your channel.

Tuck is so cute! what a sweet little face!

I love your excitement walking through your garden and showing it off. That’s how I am when I give people garden tours. Gardening is just so rewarding. ❤️

What's cuter than the sound of Tuck crunching into a vegetable? ❤

For the past 5 years I have been struggling with my gardening, but with the price of food and all of the garbage inside of it, I knew I needed change. Thanks to you and your video's I have an absolutely phenomenal garden. A full quarter acre of just about every beautiful and tasty plant you can imagine. I seriously cant thank you enough man. You're doing a wonderful thing here. <3

Symphylans are anthropods that attack seedling roots. I'm a no dig, 100% organic gardener and love the science behind the micro organisms in the soil. I would try covering the whole bed with a thick layer of cardboard and top with 6 inches of cow or horse manure and leave it for a year, topping it with a good super thick leaf mulch in Autumn. This will encourage masses of worms which correct the biodiversity of the soil. ❤

Have you looked into solarizing the soil? So pull the plants and put black plastic on the soil leave it all season. It will cook the nasty little critters. I’ve also heard the following year to plant French marigolds in the bed.

You could always try diatomaceous earth, which is generally really safe to apply in a garden where pets have access. Not only does it desiccate insects exceptionally well, it can even filter water and clean up some annoying qualities of some lower health soils. It's my #1 go-to for crawling insect problems that might otherwise run rampant. Just apply and mix into the soil, and make a barrier of it (just sprinkle a solid ring of the powder) around a bed to isolate crawling bug problems.

Tuck cracks me up with him eating everything in the garden. I thought I had seen everything a dog would eat, but not all garden vegetables. LOL Go Tuck! The pests in the soil remind me of a similar incident when I was a teenager and we had an elderly neighbor that was an organic gardener (something of a rogue back then). He had root pests and used plain white sugar to kill them. I remember because he wouldn't eat sugar so he came over to borrow some and he spread it around the plants and lightly watered it in. He said it was another reason to not eat sugar if it could kill a bug. Might give it a try.

Recently found you on YouTube
My dad always had a bountiful harvest planting the ground like our forefathers did
He used wood ash to prevent insects in all our gardening
He sometimes added lime to the wood ash sprinkling it along the sides of the rows of most all vegetation we grew
Best wishes with prayers to get back control of your infected raised bed garden

I’m so glad you pointed that pest out because I have seen them in my garden and it raised an eyebrow because I’ve never seen them before now it all makes sense why some of my brassicas don’t look so well. I’m only a 3 year gardener in Ohio zone 6. I have learned so much from you I thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. Keep up the good work.

The University of California (UC IPM) and Utah State University have some good articles about garden symphylans. Some things I picked up on when reading them were the importance of tillage, planting transplants as opposed to direct seeding, and avoiding the use of not fully composted manure and nondecomposed plant material.

I love how you just get more and more enthusiastic each year. I feel the same way, how lucky we are to be able to grow so many incredible things?

[k-sell]

You have the first dog I’ve ever seen that loves veggies 😊

[ruthstory]

I LOVE your garden!! Your happiness is contagious!! ❤️

I just wanted to say I just love the intros with the hop/skip. Haha, keep up the great content.
