Mic The Gardener - Gardening Podcast - Organic Pest Controls

Hello and welcome back to this weeks episode of the Mic the Gardener – Gardening Podcast. Temperatures are beginning to warm up, spring has well and truly sprung. Fountains of fresh green foliage are erupting from our borders and containers. It's a most welcome sight. However, with the warmer temperatures and the emergence of our perennials and favourite garden plants, comes an army of some unwanted visitors to the garden. Slugs, snails, aphids, ants, vine weevils and much more. As an organic gardener, I won't use chemicals / pesticides in my garden. So, in this enlightening episode I chat to Tess the owner of Ladybird Plant Care about how we can deal with garden pests organically. Ladybird Plant Care has a range of organic, pest control solutions which are safe for pets and children alike. In this fascinating episode we chat about vine weevils, slugs, snails, aphids and ants, explaining how you identify if you have these pests in your garden, the symptoms, their lifecycles and how, where, when and why we treat them. For further information head to the Ladybird Plant Care website. If you haven't already followed or subscribed, do you hit the follow/subscribe button to ensure you don't miss out on future episodes.
