In this unique garden tour, we are going to look at a whole bunch of failures in my own garden, and in so doing, I will help you learn to observe your own garden so you can identify what might be going wrong when you experience problems with your plants. Are you watering your garden too much? Are you watering your plants too little? Are your plants getting attacked by pests like flea beetles, aphids, hornworms, cabbage moths? What are some organic pest control methods? Ladybugs eat aphids, garden spiders, wasps, and other predators can help with insect pests in the garden, neem oil spray helps with some, diatomaceous earth, corn starch for ants, beer traps for slugs… Or are your plants suffering from fungus, diseases, and rot? When you have problems in your garden, what do you do about them? How do you fix problems with your soil, how do you create better soil for your plants to grow in, how do you create fertile, healthy soil that needs to be watered less? How do you grow the best tomatoes, the biggest fruit, the healthiest vegetables in your garden? Let’s learn to find and fix all your garden pests, plant diseases, and garden watering issues.
