Have a nice day ♥️ 😊😊😊😊

Can you do a video when you prune your grape vines please? Thanks

Looking forward to your next garden tour for sure 👍

Love a good garden tour especially when in Australia ❤ I’ll try this weekend the Diatomaceous Earth the pill bugs destroyed my cucumbers over night I’m having so much trouble this year with every evil bug there is

Although there are many woodlice (slaters, pill bugs, whatever) in my garden, I've never noticed damage the way you have. I'm wondering if it's because your surface soil is moist most of the time? They tend to hang out in damp shaded areas. So, between moist soil and straw mulch would be ideal for them. I only have a layer of compost as mulch now and tend to use straw only in the hot months. Just a thought. Cheers!

Garden tour please.

Thanks for the video, I'm growing garlic for the first time and excited to dig it up when the time is right! Your video prompted me on irrigation ideas, so perhaps you would be happy to do a video (or send me in the right direction) on irrigation tips, resources etc. Keep up the great work xx

These things generally eat stuff that is already rotting. If you find insect damage to a plant that is not already rotting, go out after dark with a flashlight and see if you can spot the actual culprit. Roly polies are everywhere in every garden and they dont tend to be a pest, so I dont see why they would be in your case. I cant help but think there is another problem and these bugs are just cleaning up the dead vegetable matter. I could be wrong, its an educated hunch. After watching more video, it seems your plants are dying from root rot and these arthropods are eating the dead material. Bad soil or too wet or no aeration, would be my guess. Do you get earwigs in australia? Look at your plants at night.

Hi there, I'm a gardener in Melbourne. I've had this issue as well with these rolly pollies (I call them), I noticed it last season as well and I think it's due to the access dampness around this time of year. They go away when the soil temperature gets hotter and drier. id suggest keeping your seedlings in small pots until the stems are strong enough to survive these things. One other thing ive found that helps is a product from bunnings called "Richgro 5kg Lawn Beetle And Grub Killa" or any other brand and i spinkle these in my raised beds mixed into the mulch. they deter all sorts of bugs including ear wigs too which eat alot of my seedlings. Hope that helps.

They are essential to the ecosystem. You should also observe collemobola as a beneficial

The slater bugs are coming in to breakdown damaged plant material. I suggest theres something wrong with your pumpkins or soil nutrition that is signalling for the wood lice coming to break it down. They think it needs them to break it down for some reason. Are you using synthetic fertilisers? Or did perhaps the your mulch has been turned under your soil a little too much? very strange, never seen slaters attack a pumpkin plant like that before.

A toilet roll around the plant babies will help to keep them off. You can cut them off and compost when done, or leave em on to decompose 🤗

What happens to the heavy metals once they "remove" them? Do they get chemically converted into something that is not a heavy metal? Why are naturally occurring elements in one's garden not appropriate?

Chicken, will eat them.

There are over 1000 different bugs on this planet. You can not know every bug. Porcellio scaber (Armadillidiidae)

I make a collar from old soft drink bottles and old pots. Put them around the plant and dig them in a bit. Seems to work well

Oh yes, the correct name for those bugs is "Common Slater". From what I heard and from my experience they harm your garden significantly when there are many of them and they can be tolerated when just a few... I must admit, that in disregard of their numbers I just squash them when they are getting in my path :). Don't use any chemicals really.

I'm a newbie garlic grower. I'm in Adelaide and I planted them early March. They have started to die back, some of the leaves are yellow and crusty and some are still green and fresh. However, I have no bulbs. 😢 not sure what went wrong. 🫠

Slaters, supposed to be decomposers but they don't mind fresh stuff either. I found cloches or tubes around seedlings helped but gosh they breed faster than rabbits. I am not sure but i think the mulch made it worse. I'll be following your success with DE or any other attempts.

I had to replace my plants in the front yard twice because so many pill bugs eating them I have tried the iron snail baits and it has worked mostly there only attacking 1 plant now instead of all 25 of them

Also, the ground does look super wet. That will rot seedlings. Better to be on the drier side if it can be helped. You’ve been getting rain, but I’d stop any supplementary watering for a few weeks until the ground dries out 🤗

I've seen some gardeners use ducks for pest control as they're not as destructive as chooks. Also could use Neem oil?...I had to use it recently as something was eating my blueberries & all leaves on one plant!...cocoons as evidence left on the protective fence

Will you need to replace it every time you water or it rains? Give us an update at some later stage?

Wait. Harvesting Capsicums and tomatoes in October? What climate are you in? I’m moving! lol From Melbourne here. 👋🏽

We spotted a black snake at the back of our property today (Eastern Victoria). Really hoping it doesn’t come any closer to the house 😬

It’s a crime that your channel doesn’t have more followers. Looking forward to watching your channel grow as I know it’s fairly new 🤗

I had no idea there was a perennial gourd! How does the taste compare to pumpkin?

Guinea fowls are supposed to be excellent at keeping snakes away. Not sure how much mess they’d make in your garden though.

Oh no! Garlic is my best and most important harvest

We’re thinking of getting one, but we want a tame one. Do you know if it’s possible to tame them?

That 💩 is Gold! Pay gold for it too if I can find it😮 I buy grass fed only cow 💩...it doesn't smell much at all..I put it in a kiddie pool(with holes) in chook pen, they compost it well with daily kitchen scraps 👌

I have one giant rabbit who meets all my garden poo needs 😂

Would like to hear more about your animals and why you have them. We only have chooks so far

I grow hardneck garlic every year (NC, USA, planting mid-Oct and harvesting late May), saving 150 bulbs for planting the following year. About 2 weeks after the scapes are harvested, and about 3-4 of the bottom leaves are dead/dying, at that point I pull them. This past spring, I think I pulled a little late and after a rain caught me by surprise, and it cost me. My haul had some damage, and isn't storing properly. I'd highly recommend getting a couple out of the ground, and peel them back and see what quality of the bulb is looking like. I'm no expert by any stretch, but if I could go back in time, that's what I'd do. I'm going to change my strategy going forward to err on the side of pulling early, rather than pushing and risking too late. Good luck!!

A DC electric shock neutralizes hemotoxins in a snake bite. Internet and doctors say it doesn't work, but I've actually seen it work when our snake handler got bit by an eastern diamondback rattlesnake. The team couldn't find keys to the trucks, so he ended up getting shocked 3 or 4 times with the riding lawnmower plug wire. Even his doctor was shocked that he didn't lose his finger or hand from gangrene as is normal from these bites. A stun gun or taser does the same thing, but it's very portable. Many folk that work in the jungles of South America carry tasers for this reason, because they're days or weeks from medical care. All of the ones that have used the DC shock say it hurts, but they're still alive. I use nylon bird netting around the perimeter of the garden and chicken areas. It only needs to be 2 to 3 feet high, but no gaps at ground level. Snakes get caught in it because their scales get tangled in the netting. This is the only reason my hubby didn't get bit by 2 huge copperheads when we were clearing the garden at the end of the season. They both got caught in the netting that I had used to keep the chickens out of that bed. A couple of blasts took care of that threat. After having to kill 2 other copperheads inside our barn, I now have netting around the lower perimeter of the building. We also broadcast sulfur pellets (not garden sulfur) across the yard and around all of our buildings. This repels mice and other rodents, as well as lizards and frogs. All of these are food for snakes. Some say that it also repels snakes while the "experts" say it has no effect. Umm, yeah, it works. We've been using it for 4 years now after having to kill 4 snakes our first week on the property. I recently heard lime works as well, but haven't tried that to see how effective it is. Hope this helps.

My grandfather would use naphthalene balls scattered around the area they wanted to keep snakes away.

do you have King Snakes in Australia? I have seen a pest control guy spray a garlic spray he said snakes do not like garlic. They may not like moth balls but moth balls can be toxic and run off beneficial insects. I live in Louisiana and we have all kinds of snakes

No advice from me, here in Brisbane...mine looked like shallots last 2 harvests 🙄

I have had a shocking year with my garlic 1st got rust then black aphids keep attacking now they have witches broom it only is the Australian purple that is being attacked by everything so I’m wondering if it has to do with who I brought it from? As my other garlics from other place has been fine and in the same garden bed

Mmmm, should i even look at mine 🙄

There are similar devices for rodents, insects and other pests, and none of them work, so I would definitely be skeptical.

And remember that some types of garlic take 2 years to grow cloves ie elephant garlic

I stopped watering my garlic a couple weeks ago. Seems to help bulb formation

Your garlic looks very similar to mine, I'm just going to keep going and hope it all comes out okay in the end. It doesn't look like there is any real rot on mine, and soft garlic does not mean rot it's still growing after all. Good luck and hopefully your crops keep growing and turn out wonderful.

I am still learning about garlic growing too. Keep us updated please. I hope your garlic doesnt rot.

I hope you get a good harvest of garlic. That would be disappointing to loose all that garlic.

This is what Iraq calls it, specifically Baghdad, which calls it Takki.😊😅

Damn, that's a lot of berrys for one tree.

Nice
