Ep. 5: Trapped by Pants and Subsequently Dying - Garden Pests and Disease Management (Part 1 of 3)

What would we get if a hummingbird, a lobster, and a moth had a baby? In today's episode, Ethan and Nick have a laugh while brainstorming more nicknames for the listeners and listing some hilarious mispronunciations of plant names. They then get into the main topic - discussing some of the most common insect pests of houseplants, gardens, and landscapes, as well as a variety of ways to manage them from organic and conventional pesticides to biological controls. This episode is part one of a three part series all about garden pest and disease management.
