Sowbugs & Pillbugs How To Protect Vegetable Garden Plants-Easy DIY Fix Raised Beds Container Garden
Understaning Rolly Polly, Sowbugs, Potato bugs, Pill Bugs, Slaters, Woodlouse are pretty easy to deal with, easy in raised beds or totes, but can work the same …
I accidentally trapped them with beer! I intended to trap slugs! I guess everyone love beer, 😂!
Have you heard of Spring Tails, tiny little black or brown bugs that jump. I haven't found how to rid them from around the house and inside my garage. Not even the people at the nursery know how to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
Yes they like to join the slugs in eating my strawberries! Great tips thank you.
Potato 🥔 likes bokchoy as companion plants 🌱
So sow bugs just like ants 🐜 they both don’t like water 💦
Your videos are always on time!! I will be using the yogurt container trick tomorrow.
Right now I am avoiding my garden due to the huge mess of ash tree seeds that just got dumped on it. Weather is beautiful today but I'm inside waiting for them to sprout so I can start pulling them.
Good video. Thank you. 🙂👵
As always, very helpful. I've seen them in my compost bin.
Hey Robbie I just bought totes and my nephew went to the store with me and instead of buying potting soil he bought topsoil can I use that to plant my potatoes and squash cucumbers and tomatoes?
Thank you for your videos. I’ve been pinching off any leaves that look like they are dying then leaving the dead leaves next to the plant. They seem to go for easy food. I use to love them as a kid so couldn’t imagine killing them. Starting to get a few aphids on my potatoes though, been taking them off with a q tip lol so I’ll have to find a better way for those.
So many birds 🐦 going to your garden they are so cute. I have an ant issue in my garden i have no clue on what to put anymore on them 😒 but they are only making there homes in the outside of the raised bed i haven't seen them inside the actual bed where all my veggies grow.
I've noticed that too! My seedlings disappear so I cut the bottom of plastic jugs and cover them that way. 😄
How do u deal with ants infestation in ur containers and around ur containers on the ground? I'm trying to avoid the use of chemicals. Unfortunately, in my country, chemicals which have been banned and recalled from the market are often what's available. After I made this discovery, I have sworn to avoid using chemicals.
I always learn a lot from ur videos. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video! 😎
What about worms? I have big problem with worms/caterpillars, especially swiss chard and kale.
Great ideas. I have the same problem.
Robbie, your garden looks absolutely beautiful.
I have a huge ant problem here in the Central Valley of California. Every where I walk, ANTS!
I have found memories of playing with Rollie Pollies as a child. I can't kill them on purpose now.
I have watched a video on getting rid of some bugs in the garden and interestingly enough it uses a potato ( which you mentioned that they like ). It’s basically a potato cut in half and carve a small space underneath. Placing this on the soil it will attract the bugs and you can collect it that way… kind of like you do with your leaves. Thanks for the video!
Well they must be eating my old house. I've had them drop on me from the ceiling! UGH
Lol they ate my tomatillo seedlings recently 😭. I knew I had to put my sleeve on them but I got lazy and they ate the seedlings. I refuse to add chemicals so I just added the sleeve and the little seedlings are good. Take care and stay awesome!! Love you guys!! Big hugs 🤗
Thank you! This is so helpful!
Great advice. I need to check for these.☺
Food grade diatomaceous earth works great. When I see there are so many they are taking all my tiny new seedling out I sprinkle it around plant and put a collar around the plants. They are really hard on strawberries that lay on the ground. They love all kinds of mulch, hide all day and then come out at night and feed! Buy diatomaceous earth (food grade) at a farm supply store it is cheap and a bag lasts for ever.
Thanks Robbie. I had forgotten about the sacrificial concepts in gardening. Thanks for reminding me. It was a forehead slap moment. Just give them something they like better than your new seedlings. So simple.
