Awsome. Good luck this yr, everyone.. keep learning. 👍👍
Thanks! This is a great comment, I need to pin this!
Thanks Nes Iza! Good Luck to you too!
Hi James. I love your channel❤
My man James! Another great vid! The world sends it's love for the shared knowledge ; )So sry, but i have THREE different questions : 1. Have you ever tried molasses and water as organic preventative spray for leafy greens? Any success? 2. A Praying Mantis sounds like an incredible garden companion! And i never knew they grew in those "pods"! Any advice how to find and transport those home? 3. I tend to have problems with PM in my area (Powdery Mildew... Southern Ontario)... How does your spray mixture work for mildew? Recommendations to deal w that prob? Thanks again for all the time and effort you've devoted to helping ppl become a little more self sufficient (and conscious). You should be truly proud. Best.
@@jamesprigioni Great video.💯💣 What is the neem oil and water ratio, please.
The energy, the passion...IT'S JAMES PRIGIONI LADIES AND GENTS
Thats whats up. Just planted some bluebonnets here in Texas. :)
The intros gets me hyped
Two of my favorite channels.Thanks for the awesomeness.
I LOVE James's channel! I've learned so much and implementing as much as I can this year.
You guys are my Favorite gardeners! Wealth of info!!!
your enthusiasm at the intros are amazing dont stop being you bro
Thanks Anthony!! I love gardening and making videos for people like you! Thanks for tuning in!
yeah hahah i noticed how hard he said "Jersey" and I commented about his energy
Dr Bonner’s Peppermint Oil Organic soap, 3 tbsp in one gallon water, my favorite DIY spray right now. Really helping me with the pesky spider mites. And super quick and easy to make in a gallon sprayer.
Add rosemary essential oil to that and you have my ‘Super Stealth Anti Aphid and Cabbage Moth Solution.’
The rosemary has made a MASSIVE difference this year.
How much Rose,are essential oil?
Rosemary
@@melissasullivan1658 wait.. how do i do that?.. I use neem and Bronner Soap... not the peppermint, just regular soap... But where do i get essential oil stuff?.. and how do I make the pesticide?.. and when exactly would i use it? thank!
I agree, Dr. Bronner's Peppermint is great for this, among it's many other uses, plus you can get it at Trader Joe's and Walmart. I like to add some Cayenne Powder and strain it if I'm up against something really nasty like spider mites. As Melissa added, Rosemary is a great oil to add to the mix esp. vs. mites
The ‘strawberry rocks’ work. For tomatoes I do the same thing with small, round, red Christmas ornaments. It makes a big difference.
I gave my mother some cabbage and marigold seedlings starts that I grew and she planted them next to each other and she said that was the first time she ever had cabbage that was bug free and look that nice. I told her it was probably from the marigolds.
I have marigolds everywhere and the earwigs, mice and others are eating the marigolds. I hound thrips on my tomato leaves today, cucumber beetles on my squash and potato leafhoppers all over. I’m spraying with Eight every week and Neem in between. I’m losing the war and I haven’t even gotten veggies yet.
Oh and I checked my neem oil like you said and even though it was $30 it is “clarified hydrophobic extract of Neem oil” So I guess I got ripped off. :(
@@marianne3024I planted marigolds and caterpillars are eating those and the basil😢 I give up
I plant green onions around ALL my gardens. Just pick off the tip of a leaf and drop it. Keeps out deer, rabbits, moles, voles.
Great tip!
Same! Growing alliums, onions and garlic like a mad woman!!
Thanks for the tip. I'm starting out but need a good way to discourage deer!!
Great idea 👌
What exactly do u mean by picking off the leaf tip and dropping it?
Just watched this yesterday morning and decided to gather some rocks and let my 2 yr old paint them red for our strawberry-growing location, we made extra to give to grandma for her strawberry patch too! It was pretty fun, and she had a blast doing it “all by herself”. Thanks for the idea!!
Hey James thanks for the vid! My 5 year old son is addicted to gardening and that’s all he talk about every day every hour 7 days a week! He loves you videos! I think I have a little James P on my hands 😂
That's awesome😊
Finding a preyingmanthis nest in the woods should be a video of its own!! So cool. Nice camerawork, some pretty shots in there.
He did this one a few years ago:)
th-cam.com/video/QzkWb5HQx9M/w-d-xo.html
@Unnamed - what are the beneficial insects?
What do you use instead?
Tuck is the friggin' cutest protector! Just don't tell my little ones I said that...I'll deny it every time. Peace to the awakening ones.
Haha the little guy melts my heart all the time
Hi James, an awesome trick for white cabbage moths is to make up some fake cabbage moths and pin them next to your cabbages. They don’t lay eggs if there is already a moth there. So glad to share. You have been so inspirational to me over the years and I love spending time in my food forest daily, THANK YOU!!
What a clever idea Carsten, I will have to try that out!! Thanks for sharing 😁
That sounds great but how do you make up fake cabbage moths? Not being sarcastic in any way, just new at this and trying to glean as much knowledge as I can.
Just went online and found there are templates you can download and print and pin to your leaves. Also, there are actual plastic decoys you can buy. The little rascals are territorial!
Whaaaat? I get to garden *and* craft? 😳 I’m into it!
@@melissasullivan1658
😂😂Yes!!! Bet you didnt know that!
I like the garlic between the tomatoes.I have used basil and marigolds before.
Great choices, I love basil between my tomatoes too. What do plant between your peppers?
@@jamesprigioni I have used chives because I use them a lot in cooking. Anything thats pungent like oregano or sacrifice a dill plant...🙀🤣
Just started my garden today. Raised bed going in tomorrow. You're a big inspiration. Don't stop being awesome. 10/10 channel.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for the kind words. Hello from Tuck! 🐶
his enthusiasm is increasing... every intro.. every ep... someday it will just be a white flash
James Prigioni the grey
Yep. I guess it’s cocaine...
It’s definitly cocaine. His advice is stupide: mineral oil is just petroil!!!
You know, the base for all synthetic pesticide. Ridiculous!
@@bobjob3632 does it naturally occur though?.. I will look into it. I'd be surprised if James didnt know.
@@bobjob3632 He is definitely not on coke. James would be tweaking differently if he was. James is high on life Bob. Stop accusing people of things when you haven't any evidence. Even if you did have evidence you shouldn't feed the fire. Be nice Bob, the Jesus is watching every move you make
Your channel has taught us so much. We just got our first three loads of wood chips ("cooking" for a while) and the big launch starts in September to get it all put together. Our objective is to provide food for people who can't afford organic produce. In a way, they have you and Tuck to thank.
Keep those videos coming!
That is one of my dreams too to be able to grow clean food for people that can’t afford it. Good for you!
I use a bird feeder with only sunflower seeds during the winter a few feet from my vegetable garden to encourage them to my area to eat bugs once the last frost is done. Volunteer sunflowers are great too!
Great idea.....
Thank you!
That's a great organic method! I love it!
James, you win the official TH-cam award for packing more information into a short 18 minute video than would seem humanly possible. Great job... and thank you.
Totally agree!!
Got my garden going today!
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Squash, Zucchini, Red & Green Sweet Bell Peppers, Sweet Banana Peppers, and, some Merigolds for pests. Sweet Potatoes as well!
Whoop whoop it all sounds good! Hope you have a great garden bounty this year!
I use row covers and neem oil. I noticed a lot of flying ants this year and a few in my raised beds. Trying to encourage those to move elsewhere 🤞🏻. Hopefully we all have a good growing season this year!
Hello to All… I just love him. He’s a garden guru🌱🪴🥦🥬🥒🌶🫑🍅
I mostly use neem oil for soil gnats. I live in the desert so moist soil is an oasis for them.
U helped me grow the best tomatoes I’ve ever grown. I followed your instruction as close as I could. I’m currently in my garden now planting this years tomatoes and watching your videos.👍
Do uou have a link
Great video. My only question is why mineral oil for the garlic mixture? I feel weird putting a petroleum by-product on my food plants. Perhaps another type of edible oil would work?
Dr. Bronner's Peppermint is great, about 1 TBSP per quart of water, you can add Rosemary essential oil to this for extra kick as well, against certain pests I throw in a TBSP of ground Cayenne pepper, stir and let it soak in then strain it. Definitely wear gloves and eye/face protection like a mask, you don't want to breathe it in/get it on your skin/eyes
I agree,. You can use vegetable oils instead,, it would be far better
In eatable vegitable we should not harmful chemical.
Spry which we can not use without mask,safety of eye meant it is harful too for our organ.
I just love your garden. I find it so peaceful to watch you working out there. Enjoy watching your little pup wondering around. Thank you for sharing.🙋♀️
Your welcome Kathy! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Tuck says Hi! 😁
Shout out to you, James, Tuckie, and your wonderful cameraman. Thank you sirs!
You are welcome, and thank you from the whole team! ❤️
Great video! I am definitely going to try red rocks around the strawberry plants close to fruiting time.
As for your homemade spray, you've got the ingredients for lots of different sprays there too.
Starting with white oil - basically 2 parts oil (I use rice bran oil as it's cheap and always in the pantry) 1 part dish soap.
Great for combating scale, aphids, leaf miner etc.
For the broad spectrum spray, you might want to add some dried chilli into the mix too as it's a decent deterrent to some pests.
Or make 2 different sprays and rotate them as needed.
Hey James and Tuck!!! Thanks for the video! Lots of great tips in here! Happy to be watching !💕 😊
Watched for the second time a year later. Thank you James for your awesome information to help us garden and and steward the land.
Tuck is like YEAAAHHH... IT'S GARDEN TIME! 🥒🥕🐕
Yup, he has been waiting for this all winter! Time to dig holes and eat fresh veggies!
Thanks for your video tuck has got to be the cutest pest deterrent 🙂 I plant French marigolds and herbs all over the place. I grow my lettuce in recycled milk containers on the fence because slugs eat them every single year otherwise. Last year my beans were attacked by blackfly so this year I'm going to try everything I can think of because they wrecked my beans. I'll definitely try your garlic spray as well as companion planting and see if it prevents them.
Well for those white and yellow moths, I put moth balls around my beds it works 80%, just have to remember to put more out after the rain. I also find Irish spring soap cut into chunks and put into socks and hung around has helped me with unwanted pests.
You painted those "strawberries stones" so well, I thought for sure you were going to mistakenly take a bite. Peace to the awakening ones. ;)
I may have looked crazy doing it but hey I am the one eating fresh strawberries so I will take it lol 😁
@@jamesprigioni Actually, you're not the only one. Gardener Scott has a video where he let his granddaughters help him paint rocks. I will certainly be painting rocks for my new strawberry bed this year! 😁
Another organic pest management strategy is fungi. King Stropharia/ red cap mushrooms are native to the NE US and the mycelium kills nematodes by strangling them and the fruit (mushroom) is edible. Earth worms also love the mycelium and we all know how great worms are in the garden. Tip: if you want to continue to harvest mushrooms, rotate them.
I used the recipe from this video, the only change was I used cooking oil and is working rally well. thank you
Watching from Chicago, amazing channel thanks for the knowledge..💪🏽💪🏽
Don’t know if anyone else dose this... when I am straining anything I use a canning funnel blow the strainer... Helps prevent spills!
Brilliant red river rock action, not sure if it works but sure looks like something easy to do that adds a little decor.
A garlic press works really well. Saves a lot of time! Thanks for all your great information. Hi Tuck!
Good morning and happy Sunday James. I’ve been trying to share my spray with as many folks as possible because it’s totally eclipsed anything I’ve used against cabbage moth destruction. Dr Bohners peppermint liquid castille + rosemary essential oil. I’m pretty sure it’s the rosemary that is making the moths avoid all of my lush leafy greens this year. They’re not even trying on my actual brassicas, it’s insane.
Tuck is such a good boy ❤ Placing a rubber snake where you don't want birds to attack your plants will keep them away.
my friend told me for the past few years she has been spraying sea water on her cabbages. they never get attacked at all. after every rain she said. she told me you can also use house hold sea salt with water. she did it for the slugs but the cabbage moths dont even bother them. i might try it this year.
Great video James and Tuck. I really needed this video. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Glad you got some value out of it 👍 Your welcome and thanks for watching!
your videos help me relax when life gets stressful and ahs motivated me to start gardening and doing something to start believing in myself again, thank you, you're awesome
Thanks James. I always get something useful from you're videos
I love this guys energy❤️❤️
never get tired of your insanely awesome enthusium! shout out tuckie!
Let’s Gooo! Thanks for the kind words Julian, I’ll let King Tuck know you said hey
A good introduction to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - a strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties
For variety selection, I read there is a variety of collards that are meant to be resistant to cabbage worm. They are called green glaze collards or cascade glaze collards. They have a waxy coating which is meant to impart some pest resistance. I have not tried it yet, but it sounds worth trying. For disease resistance, I am testing a variety of butternut squash that is meant to have resistance to downy mildew called South Anna butternut squash. I am in NJ as well, and the tomato disease I have the most trouble with is septoria leaf spot. This year I am trying a variety of Roma tomato that is meant to have some resistance to that, called Virginia Select Roma VF. All of them are open pollinated so you can save the seeds.
That is super interesting Ron I will be looking into the green glaze collard, it would be fun to grow as a control even. I am constantly trying out a few new tomato varieties also and keeping some that are consistent winners and my favorites. I think playing with varieties is one of the most fun things about gardening 😁
@@jamesprigioni I grew Green Glaze Collards once, got seeds from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, which is an excellent source BTW! The leaves were indeed beautifully waxy almost like a split-leaf philodendron, unfortunately I didn't get to grow them to maturity or see them side-by-side other varieties during cabbage moth season but maybe that's a good test to run later this year :)
@@TheRealHonestInquiry thanks for the seed exchange info!
Thanks for sharing your gardening tips and tricks very helpful information 🌾🌱🌿🍃
In my own experience, you do not need to use huge amounts of mineral oil or dish soap. I actually use no more than 2% mineral oil to water ratio and add just a tps or less of dish soap per gallon and it does the same job and a lot less heavy on the plants, I’m sure. I do however like the addition of garlic which I have not tried yet.
Best Channel on YT! Thanks for the inspiration, my man!
Strawberry trick is a good one. I don't know why I didn't think of that since I had problems with birds ruining my tomatoes. I painted some Christmas ornaments and put them on my tomato plants. No more bird problems. Always love watching you and Tuck!
I absolutely 💯 love your videos. Your enthusiasm, plus information, plus presentation is well received. Koodos to Tuck the garden security. Tuck does great job as taste tester to make sure you don't eat anything bad and keeps varmints at bay. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and garden excitement 😊
My peach tree is doing pretty good. The cherry tree I thought was dead is now so lively and green. Just waiting for the sprouts to come out for all the veggies.
Why did you think it was dead?
Glad it came back to life!
Just showed some LOVE and bought two long sleeve shirts for gardening - Thank you again for the videos _ new to gardening and learning a lot ~ Bless
I get long sleeve men’s shirts from the Goodwill for gardening . I also get coffee mugs cause my husband can’t help but break anything breakable.
@@bonnieweeks8383 I just wanted to support this channel and his work I will definitely get garden shirts at thrift too
@@BlondeBomb79 Hi Laura, your soap comment is still up. I just read it :)
I love Tuck!! I want him! I lost my Yorkie Rhett Butler a little over a year ago. I miss him so much. 😢
I will be trying the rock trick.
Whats going on James and Tuck!! As always, a great video with great tips. I love what your doing and what you stand for. Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious, I can't stop gardening! Take care both of you, from the UK 🇬🇧
Did I miss where you talked about why you chose mineral oil over a vegetable oil? Mineral oil is petroleum based.
Vegetable oil is toxic too.
I guess I am cheapskate, cause if we use olive oil, then we could take all that leftover amazing garlic and throw it into a batch of spaghetti! JMO! 🤔☺️
Excellent! Thanks for the tips.
This is an important video for anyone interested in organic gardening. I would like to know how the use of these methods effect Tuck's interest in eating the vegetables. Does Tuck shy away from sprayed vegetables?
Great job, James.
Great question. I'm curious, too.
Hello, please try to use grind eggs shells to get rid of worms and insects into your plants. Just scatter grind eggs shells around the plants and that it.
I've seen this suggested as a simple physical barrier for slugs and snails but haven't tried it yet myself, would love to see it tested!
These videos are live! Nice job man, great production. On a serious note, I’ve been enjoying your videos for a couple years now. Keep up the good work. 🤘🏻🌱🤘🏻
You missed the livestream version?
@@jamesprigioni they are meaning "live" = awesome 😉 I think you missed it
I thoroughly enjoyed your video on controlling pests. The details in using garlic was fantastic- hey - I even learned an easier way to chop garlic. Thank you so very much. Have a great day.
Yay James and Tuck!!!
Happy to see you guys here in SF Bay Area!
You are so smart!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Give Tuck a hug from me. 🌻🌷🌻🌷
Thank you James and Tuck! Great information and I saved this video for future reference. Always look forward to your videos.
Tuck made cameo appearance . Yeah !!!! Go Tuck ..
Love your channel, I have learned so much .. Thank You .
Tucker is so cute. Good dog, Tucker.
You inspire me so much. I appreciate you so much for your energy and for your love and Understanding of the earth.
Me and Tuck are glad to hear that Lucy! Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to us 🐕😁❤️
This is brilliant James, I have neem oil, great to use on all sorts of plants. I love all the suggestions from everyone too! Especially pin a cabbage white butterfly to my crops. I had noticed myself that if there are 2 butterflies on one cabbage one will leave quickly. I didn’t know what to do with that info though. Now I do! Love your channel, love ❤️ Tuck ❤️
What a good boy is Tuck, the Protector of the Garden!
For slugs, I've found copper tape around the raised bed works much better than any trap. I've seen them try to get up, come across the tape, and turn around. Now I only find a few on my nightly hunts, instead of dozens.
James be slicing garlic like Goodfellas Paulie chops garlic in the slammer.
😂
😂
Nothing like starting a relaxing Sunday morning with a new video of you and Tuck and your Food Forest! Some really great info to use in my garden! Your channel has become my favorite- keep the great content coming!!
The genuine love and respect you show to tuck is amazing
Thanks for the video! I love your dog; he or she seems very happy and content...
I started creating wildflower beds and planting alot of dill it attracts preatory insects
I've had a lot of trouble with whiteflies killing my chile plants and with white fungus killing my tomatoes and mint too. I've been experimenting with garlic mixtures and I appreciate your video on the subject.
James, to peel garlic put in in 2 metal bowls. Shake hard, voila they are peeled. Saves lots of time. Love your videos!
I like to use yellow sticky paper fly traps. It catches a lot of yellow striped beetles that eat my cucumbers. I'm going to make your garlic oil soap spray.
My Yorky is a gardener as well. Opossums and stray cats beware. Thanks for the tips as I had cabbage worms last year and it was no fun. Great video.
We like to make decoy cabbage moths out of paper and hang em with wire around the brassica. Cabbage moths are terribly territorial.
Greetings my friend, thank you and have a blessed day ahead.
Love your videos. Although I live in Texas,I find your advice works down here too. I love your energy you make me smile every time you start a video. Thank you Lisa LaFata
I love the “I don’t pay the praying mantises and I don’t have to provide health benefits “ 🤣🤣 I would argue that you are definitely providing a super healthy environment for them though!
Positive comment for the youtube algorithm! 😝
THANK YOU JAMES!!!
Thank YOU Rhonda for your support! 😁
I love love these pointers that you suggest. Am Eva here in the Caribbean. Tuck is AWESOME
So glad you're back for a new year of growing. Really love your videos !!!!
For anyone fixing to use garlic, you're actually much better off just crushing the garlic in two or three pieces rather than chopping it. The allicin will be released in a much more efficient way and you don't need to get the chopping board out.
Thanks James for the great content, good vibes to you :)
I agree smashing it is going to rupture more cell walls and expose them to oxygen allowing for whatever that reaction is to occur more efficiently
Love Tuck… a hero Yorkie! ❤
Those cabbage worms 🐛 got me in the fall but now I’m prepared!!👍🏼👍🏼
Lots of great ideas James, thank you!
Because we have a cold, wet Spring, I put in seeds and covered them with plastic storage tubs, like Sterelite, thus making a mini green house. This also works great for plant starts, even when it's in the 30's at night. Enjoy.
Thank you James for sharing your knowledge and passion 💕
Bug zappers work too!
Learn JADAM James! Please I beg you. Next level organics. Next level pest control.
Really good video! Thank you.
I AM so grateful for the inspiration, knowledge & TUCK!!!
