Garden Managing

[ShannonR]

Ladybugs, praying mantises, and parasitic wasps can be found online, Amazon is where I got mine last year. My ladybugs didn't last long, they left after a week or so but a few came back this year. Not enough to deter the aphid problem though!!

Hey y'all, my name is Fully, and I am looking to start a garden. I have the land for it, I know I will have to keep the chickens out of the garden though. I have some chicken netting to put around the outside of it, but I am worried that the garden will get eaten by grasshoppers also. It is on big loop hole. If there is any tip/tricks y'all know please help a fellow farmer out.

Thank y'all,
Fully

Grasshoppers haven’t invaded my garden yet, but I would look into a floating row cover or if you’re in an area where it’s hot, like me I use a bug netting. You can get a plastic one, but I spent the extra bit for a metal one so it lasts more then one year. It helped keep cabbage loopers off my lettuce.
