Garlic soil prep time!! Step 1: buy your seed ga Garlic soil prep time!! 

Step 1: buy your seed garlic (watch my last reel!)

Step 2: prep your soil <<< This is me right now 

I have to clear all the weeds/grass/crispy stuff so that I can access my irrigation to temp pull it (and check it for leaks) and then cultivate the soil to loosen it up. And then add in 2-3โ€ of compost to the top & cultivate that in. 

Garlic goes in the ground around Oct 15th in Texas 8b. 

I bought my seed garlic from @madrivergarlicgrowers but there are other garlic sellers (@growhoss @johnnys_seeds to name a few extra). 

P.S. And if youโ€™re tired of Googling whatโ€™s eating your plants and youโ€™re ready to stop playing whack-a-mole with pests โ€” comment SYSTEM and Iโ€™ll DM you the link.๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Spraying every bug you see is the reason you keep Spraying every bug you see is the reason you keep seeing more bugs, and nobody selling the sprays at the garden center is going to tell you that.

If you're seeing aphids on your fall kale right now, this is exactly the moment not to spray.

Every time you hose down a plant, the ladybug larvae and lacewings that were quietly eating your aphids die right along with them. 

Aphids bounce back in days, since theyโ€™re literally born pregnant. 

Your predators take weeks. 

So youโ€™ve just handed the pests a garden without bodyguards. 

They move back in, you see twice as many, and you reach for the bottle again. 

That loop is how you end up spraying every weekend all summer and calling yourself a failure at gardening.

Organic doesnโ€™t get you off the hook either. 

Soap spray kills the good larvae it lands on, and spinosad is rough on bees if theyโ€™re out when you spray. 

I use any kind of organic spray sparingly, only on the exact problem, and only when nothing else is handling it.

Iโ€™d rather lose a few leaves for a week while the ladybugs catch up than lose my whole defense team in one afternoon. 

A garden that defends itself needs its defenders alive, and thatโ€™s what I teach in the Self Defending Garden System.

If you want to put the spray bottle down for good and build a garden where the ladybugs handle your aphids for you, comment SYSTEM and Iโ€™ll send you the link.
