Description

This workshop is available On-Demand. Theme: Organic gardening methods (including soil health, encouraging beneficial insects and birds to your garden as a form of natural pest control and why to avoid sprays and pesticides) What do rainforests, native bushland and desert oases have in common? They don’t need pesticides in order to thrive! And yet for some reason we’re always told that we need to use ‘pest control’ methods in our gardens. We’re advised to use sprays to kill aphids, put fungicides on our roses and scatter snail pellets around our lettuces. But what if none of that was really necessary?? In this session, I’ll be answering all of your questions about organic approaches to gardening based on my experiences in my own garden, which is totally pesticide- herbicide- and fungicide-free (and don’t worry, it’s not infested with anything!).

    Last summer I had so many slaters eating my strawberries and tomatoes. This year I put all of the strawberries in separate self-watering troughs outside fo the main garden bed (which is a wicking bed.). What can I do to prevent them from eating my crop this year? Thanks!

    How can I co-habit with a bandicoot - eg holes everywhere, can't use weed and feed on lawn or spray driveway weeds. Best murder method for aphids - especially black aphids on garlic. Thanks, Helen

    I always end up with powdery mildew on my beans and peas which affects the development of bean or pea pods. How can I prevent this?

    Do you have any suggestions for coping with garden weevils please? They destroy so many of our plants each year! Thanks

    Any tips for a small garden where caterpillars keep decimating all the cabbage crops like broccoli and kale?

    I keep getting an orange fungal infection I think on my calendula & chive leaves. Also had white patches on my asian greens. Can I treat my soil somehow to improve soil microbiology so that plants are healthy and/or treat affected leaves ?

    What plants do you recommend to bring beneficial insects into my garden for Spring and Summer? Are there any homemade sprays or treatments that you recommend for pests at this time of year? What do you recommend we plant now and for summer? Thank you.

    My three tiered timber retaining wall in my garden is collapsing. Is there an easy way to replace the timber post supports without digging out all the soil?
