    I too plant lots of marigolds throughout my veggies, in our Colorado garden and typically don’t have insect issues other that powdery mildew on my squash leaves at the end of the growing season. Thanks for this info and also thanks to these notes stating that pyrethrin can be dangerous for cats. Scary! I’d like to hear info on Neem too (but that’s an oil, which makes it a no-go w the wetable sulfur dust…)

  6. Doris Fleming

    You are killing a pollinator,the tomatoes hook worm turns into a hummingbird moth,and they pollinate all kinds of plants,along with bees,and hummingbirds,

  7. Joel Sawyers

    Heads up, I always heard you should never feed Spinach to dogs because they are extremely sensitive to the oxylates.

  8. Eric Buchannan

    A pair of Chickadees will feed some where between 6,240-9,120 caterpillars to their brood in the 28 days from hatching to flying and additionally more than 2,000 in the next 28 days before they are on their own. Put up a wren/chickadee house by your garden. the hole has to be 1 1/8 so that other birds can't use the bird house.

    your vids are so helpful. we have a horrible time with pests and will try these insecticides. agree about the dt, but what about diotomaceous (probably butchered the sp) earth. Dale is always a precious plus. hug him & scrunch his ears for me (only as ruff as he likes, of course).

  15. Sofia Miliaressis

    I was advised to plant many brassica plants in the same area. This is supposed to confuse caterpillar moth from landing and setting eggs, so it cuts down the use of pesticides.

    How much do you usually go thru in a season? I live in Alabama zone 8A I know, you are saying I’m so sorry, lol

  17. Moc Lan

    Thanks for another great video. I'm using Amazon app and for some reasons cannot order through your store front. Any ideas?

    First, I love Millennial Gardener’s channel, and he has excellent information here. I would use pesticides with caution and consider the risks associated with them (whether organic or conventional). Even if properly used and targeted (ex. usage after sunset to prevent harming bees), they may still harm moths and predatory insects that work at night. Moths and their caterpillars are the largest source of energy transfer in the food web. Dr. Doug Tallamy is an entomologist who specializes in this field of research. Favor alternatives if possible:

    1. Prefer planting naturally pest resistant herbs, fruits, and vegetables. This reduces the need for protection from pests.

    2. Utilize insect netting as a physical barrier. This does the least amount of harm.

    3. Plant a diverse range of native plants that support biological control through attracting predatory and parasitoid insects (ex. lacewings, lady beetles, ground beetles, assassin bugs, etc.) Many native plants such as: asters, goldenrods, mountain mint, yarrow, sumacs, etc. support this goal. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center has plant lists for conservation biological control that you can filter based on your state to find native plants that fit your unique area/climate.

    I believe there are many relationships between plants and insects that we do not fully understand or know about. Using pesticides almost always has side-effects, and the only thing you can control is minimizing them. It may be necessary to use a natural pesticide during rare events, but consider the above points before usage.

    Hello! just found your videos and you are so very helpful and I wanted to say thank you for your information because I get so discouraged when I see my fruit trees and bushes struggle. I do have a question to something happening right now. I live in Western Kentucky and I have several fruit trees apple, pear, peach and a bunch of blueberry bushes and they all seem to be having issues with rust colored dots and some of the blueberry leaves turning red like in fall. Two out of my 7 blueberry bushes don't have any fruit buds at all so far and the other 5 have a lot of buds. Not sure what you would recommend to help my situation. thank you!

    When should I start spraying my field peas and climbing beans? They are about 3 inches high now. I live in zone 8a. Thanks.

    Hi I have a question about my avocado tree it grows just fine I have it in a large pot it's a dorf avocado tree and its self Pollinating . I bought it as a very large tree I already had it for 4 years and every year that it gives me flowers the flowers fall and last year it gave me a small tiny avocado and it fell to what fertilizer do I need to use and what vitamins do you think it may be deficient in.

  29. Reni Martin

    Thanks for the information, you are always a wonderful source of gardening information that makes it simple for us beginners to follow and execute. I'm hoping one of these products will help with my mealy bug problem that has been plaguing my star apple plant for months now. They are nasty little buggers.
