How timely your video! I've spent the last 3 days tilling a section of my lawn to prep it too become a vegetable garden/micro food forest, and I'm still not done. Granted, with the Florida sun beating down on me, I can't work from about 11 AM to 3 and it was a mess! In any case, there are many many army cut worm larvae and cocoons. I have been feeding them to the lizards, but how do I prevent them? What eats them besides birds or what plant discourages them?
Cutworms are different, in that most of them are the larvae of moths or butterflies. Typically a cover a remay when the adult moths/butterflies are present, removes the chance of them laying eggs in your crop. Also, trying to water only where the plant needs it, and not adjacent soil can help. I know that is likely not the case in Florida, where it can be wet. Florida State University specializes in turf research - They are excellent resources for controlling some of the more specific pests you'll encounter in Florida.
Hello! Thank you for your videos and content. I have a question... I have noticed stink bug eggs in the garden and many stink bugs already flying around. I had never thought to be concerned by them before until I saw a National Geographic video talking about the enormous infestation and damage they can cause. Can you shed some light and some of your knowledge on this bug?
Do moles go for wireworms?

Chickens are great bug hunters when tilling.
Yes they are!
I would like to see the words in print that you are saying helps control wire worms. Not sure what it is that you're saying!
