This should bug you, that’s what we’re talking about today on the Grow Your Self Podcast. We’re digging into the bug stuff today!

Let’s talk about what’s going on with your food, with pests, why are pests even in our gardens in the first place. What does that indicate and mean to us? I’m going to tell you three things; three truths you can count on in regards to pests and your food. Then we are going to talk about five steps to keep your garden organic and as pest-free as possible.

 

Key words there “as possible.” Because pest-free is pretty much an impossibility, but we're going to talk about how to take a few steps, and use things we do with our clients, to keep our garden organic and as pest-free as possible.

 

In this episode we will discuss:

• Bugs in general all over the world, in nature eat healthy plants.
• There is more to your food than you originally thought. (Pesticides & byproducts of pesticides)
• Remove the visible damage and do some searching and remove every pest that you can find by hand.
• Remove additional plant stressors.
• Nourish the plant and then help the plant fight for itself.
