GROW YOUR OWN FOOD
GARDEN BASICS
ORGANIC PEST CONTROL

Before anything goes back in the bed, here’s what

Before anything goes back in the bed, here’s what I do first:

🌱 Pull out all dead and spent plants

🚫 Pull out anything diseased and trash it, not compost, trash

🪱 Add a good layer of compost on top of your soil

🌿 Scratch it in if you can, or broadfork it in if you really want to do it right

💧 Get some water on the soil to start working those nutrients in

Right as you’re planting:
🩸 Add a nitrogen boost with blood meal

🌟For each transplant hole I add water, worm castings, and blood meal before the plant goes in.

🌟If you’re direct sowing, the compost will help “feed” the plant. Once you see the first true leaves, that’s two full sets of leaves, fertilize with fish emulsion.

Your fall harvest starts with what you do to your beds right now.

P.S. If you want a garden that protects itself — without chemicals or constant guessing — comment SYSTEM and I’ll DM you the link.💚🌱💚

📝since we are back in planting season (direct sowing and seed starting indoors, don’t forget these must have plants!!

For pest repelling:
French Marigolds, Chives, Garlic, Onions, Basil, Sage, Thyme, Mint (good to practice containment with this one 😉IYKYK) & Rosemary

For pest distractions (aka trap crops):
Nasturtiums, Radish, Blue Hubbard Squash, Collards, Turnips & Sunflowers

For attracting beneficial bugs (that will take care of the bad bugs):
Dill, Fennel, Yarrow, Alyssum, Cosmos, Calendula, Sunflowers, Borage, Cilantro

For building better soil:
Peas, Beans, Crimson Clover, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Fava beans, Lentils

For living mulch (or when you don’t have much space):
Lettuce, Spinach, Arugula, Strawberries, Oregano

Once you understand how to build your bodyguard system, your garden starts working for you instead of against you

Stay inside…😂😂😂 These 110 degree F days are nuts.

These 110 degree F days are nuts. If you’ve got plants still producing in this heat, besides peppers, okra and zinnias…props to you.

I’m staying inside until this heat bubble pops. 🙃😉😂

There’s plenty to do with fall seed starting.
