Okay so I’m doing everything I can now, late winter to prepare -Yes IF I do, I’ll buy native and local from a nursery if I can this early, -and I’m also using trap plants to get them away from the main crops this year. -I’m using neem oil like it’s going out of style
But none of that helps for PREVENTION in my greenhouse in 7A in February lol. Add to this the fact that I’ve been growing indoors all winter so I’m literally not helping lol.
Am I absolved of my permaculture guilt in buying some predators to help me manage the 6’x8’ greenhouse? Arthropods or not it feels like keeping them inside the GH may be cruel if they’re trying to go out and get some of that Bugussy.
IF YOUVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL USING BUG PREDATORS especially in a small GH please lmk if you did anything special.
Also has anyone tried fumigating with smoke? Not just aphids, I mean all pests. I’ve seen people mention it but it’s almost always the people who suddenly have a PHD in whatever the subject is. I get the sense you’d have to burn an astringent wood like birch.
There's nothing here!
