With some insects, we may be confused as to why they have the name they do. When it comes to cutworms — this isn’t the case. It’s pretty “cut” and dry…as the pest will feed on the stems of the plant.

The cup overflows with original sounds plus a few surprise covers so get your self situated papa let's do it

“I heard from a customer the other day about cutworms in a soybean field that was planted green into cereal rye. I was wondering if this is common and do we need to recommend scouting for cutworms or other pests when using cover crops?” - Chris Prochnow, Territory Manager for Agassiz Seed and Supply Dr. Janet Knodel, an extension entomologist at North Dakota State University, joins us to help answer Chris’s question. North Dakota is home to at least 32 different species of cutworms. “Most (cutworms) do love weedy fields or grassy fields in the fall. So that’s probably why they ended up in the rye field is because it was seeded in the fall and that’s very attractive to most of the species of cutworms. And then they cause damage in the spring.” Dr. Janet Knodel Eggs are laid in the soil usually in September. Some species will stay as eggs over winter and some will hatch into larvae. The larvae or caterpillar is the damaging stage. When scouting, look for evidence of defoliation, bare spots or cut plants laying on the ground. Some species will clip the plant when it's young and some will climb them and damage the leaves. The larvae and adult moth are active at night so they may not be readily apparent during the day. “You pretty much just need to get out in the spring and scout and monitor the fields for infestation.” - Dr. Janet Knodel Four or more larvae per foot of row is the threshold for wheat, barley, oats and rye. You want to “implement your chemical controls” when they are smaller larvae. Towards the end of their feeding schedule, typically at the end of June, the larvae become more difficult to kill as they are more mature. Unfortunately there aren’t any “forecasting models” for cutworm infestation. This makes it hard to predict which field they will infest and what environments they prefer. Dr. Knodel explains this is why regular scouting is critical to managing any potential infestation..

Cutworms are a common pest in several crops, including canola, across the Prairies. These below-ground dwellers cause damage by clipping or severing stems of seedlings, so unlike other pest damage, cutworm feeding kills young plants.

(And encourage the good garden bugs that eat them for you!) what eats them green and brown lacewings, lady beetles, hover flies, midges, bigeyed bugs, damsel bugs, soldier beetles, and blister beetles 2. Tomato Hornworms Handpick these bad guys off your plants on sight. Glow in black light 3. Snails and Slugs Handpick, crush, or set out beer traps. Coffee gound /sand /egg shells around the plant sorta of works 4. Squash Vine Borers Get rid of these garden destroyers using the basic stem borer control method: Insert wire in hole in stem and skewer. 5. Potato beetle Plant sage a buddy plant Straw Mulch Mulching heavily with straw not only helps keep the tubers out of the sunlight but also creates a habitat for predators of the Colorado potato beetle. If you can attract ground beetles, ladybugs, and green lacewings, they'll do a lot of the hard work for you. Crop Rotation Companion Planting Other ways to control them Apply neem oil as needed. This is the organic gardener's go-to insecticide, and it works wonders––even better than most conventional options. Hand-pick beetles, larvae, and eggs and throw them in a bucket of soapy water to kill them. Use a vacuum to remove beetles, larvae, and eggs. There are special "bug vacs" for garden use, but a regular household handheld vacuum also works well. Good bugs Earthworms Ladybugs besides eating bad bugs ladybugs also look for pollen for a food source, so there are numerous plants you can grow to help attract them. Flowers and herbs such as cilantro, dill, fennel, caraway, yarrow, tansy, angelica, scented geraniums, coreopsis and cosmos are good choices for luring the ladybug Bees Pillbugs sometimes also referred to as roly-pollies, primarily consume plant matter that is either decaying or is already dead and decomposed. Their preferred foods are soft decaying plants like grasses and leaves, but they may also eat mulch used in landscaping around the house.The other major benefit of “rollie pollies” in the garden is that they are a natural way to safely remove heavy metals from the soil. Toxins like lead, cadmium, and arsenic (among others) are not harmful to pill bugs. ... They're giving you good, clean soil for your plants. Lacewings Lacewings are not harmful or dangerous to humans, but they are dangerous to other insects in your garden. At the larval stage, lacewings devour aphids and other pests such as mealybugs, thrips and juvenile whiteflies in massive numbers Nectar and pollen will help encourage Lacewings into your garden. Make sure you have many nectar-rich flowering plants in your patch. Another good tip is to have a good mixture of plants, as this is a good way to ensure an alternative food source for the Green Lacewing if bugs are running low.

Why is gardening and green living important to you? Where did that passion come from? 2. Home gardeners have a positive impact on soil erosion and run off - why is that? 3. You've hosted on QVC a number of times - give us some behind the scenes insight - are the segments always live or are some pre recorded? 4. what are some garden trends you were seeing before the pandemic and now are seeing during? 5. Where can we find out more about you? In segment four Joey and Holly answer Garden questions Q: Best cure for getting rid of rabbits other than trapping them. Used moth balls, irish spring soap, apple cide vinegar, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, rabbit scram, repels all…etc. A:Yes these all do work however when it rains you do need to apply them you can also us 2 foot high chicken wire they help keep them out if you leave it up all year long also what does work is deer feet https://deerdefeat.com/ it is a All natural, environmentally safe Deer Defeat effectively deters deer, rabbits, groundhogs and other browsing animals, while actively nourishing your vegetation. It does not scare them away but it keep them from eating your vegetation Straw Bale Gardening Q:. Just listened to you podcast about growing in straw bales. How do you keep rodents out? A: The best way is to keep the bale moist to the dampness of a sponge water it as needed stick you hand in the side and top if it is dry water it Straw Bale Gardening Q: when conditioning my straw bale I can only use water from the hose. Will this be okay? A: People may be concerned about chlorine killing off the microbes in the bale and they will not studies have been done that shows little not nearly no die off happens Wild raspberries in container Q:I have some wild raspberries on a second property that I don’t get out too often And I’d like to dig up a second year cane or two to plant in a container at the house so I could harvest some before the birds beat me to them ! Do you think wild raspberries would do well or does it have to be a nursery plant Thank you A: As long as you plant it in a large enough container it will do just fine. You want to transplant it when the plant is still in dormancy. You might still be able to it now, also with that patch on the other property you could look at bird netting that you can lay over top of the plants to keep the birds away too. Bent Grass  Q: have bent grass in my lawn, do you know how to kill it without hurting my fescue lawn? A: It is also called creeping bent grass  it will grow in the sun and in the shade it is found on golf courses it has a bluish green color it is a fine thin bladed grass. There are two ways to get rid of it, one in using roundup you would spray the grass but also you would spray a foot beyond the area as the grass will already be creeping in that grass that you can not see most people do not want to kill all their grass (this can also take several treatments over 2 to 3 years to kill it all) The second is called Tenacity it is not cheap however it will not kill you fescue but will only control the bent grass and will need 3 application over a couple of year but with a little time you can get rid of the bent grass    https://www.amazon.com/Tenacity-Turf-Herbicide-8-ounces/dp/B005DUTNF0  Stalks for stock Q: When onions are seeding Would the stalks be good for flavoring soup stock? A: at the time the seed pods are on the plant the stalk are very thin and woody and tough and would have off flavor. Worms  Q: Do worms damage plants by eating the stem or roots? A: Cutworms chew through plant stems at the base. They primarily feed on roots and foliage of young plants, and will even cut off the plant from underneath the soil. But earthworms do not. Rhubarb is Yellowing Q: Areas of my Rhubarb leaves are turning yellow.  I can't seem to find a diagram identifying the parts of the rhubarb leaves, so please bear with me.  The part turning yellow is the area on either  side of the rib? That runs through the leaves.This has never happened before. A: With your Rhubarb and yellowing leaves, what it maybe is you have over watered it. You want to keep the soil damp. Also it is best to fertilize early in the spring 1/2 cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer is fine or something in the range and again in the fall. Apply the fertilizer in a circle around the plant. It is best not to fertilize new plants until the second year.  So no more Fertilizer right now, their may be too much in the soil and causing some element being blocked out and keeping others from up taking to the leaves. And if the leaves are changing color but the stem is still firm you maybe ok for harvest this year. If the stem get limp, remove all those that are this way to get them from the plant.   Soaking seeds Q: I soaked my chickpeas in a wet paper towel for 7 days then they were really mushy..i guess I should have just planted them directly in the soil,without pre soaking? can I use store bought chic peas? A:Yes you can use store bought dry . You can still soak them for a day and then plant them that will help. Keep in mind, Some beans and chickpeas  maybe too old to germinate well, while others are irradiated so they won't sprout. The seeds may also have a poor germination rate even if the seeds aren't treated to prevent germination because they haven't been stored at optimum conditions for planting. Cover crop is thick   Q:For the first time, 2019, I planted a cover crop (winter wheat) on my garden last fall.  Now, that I’m preparing the garden, I’m finding, dealing with the cover crop to be more of a challenge than I anticipated.  It’s like grass or sod.  Any suggestions here? A: With you cover crop situation. Our suggestion would be to cut it down and that will kill the plant. It will not regrow like a weed or a grass will when it is cut or mowed. After that you can allow it to dry and break down on the top of the soil or you can burn it off (safely) or till it  under.  Check out the companies that make the show possible Power Planter of www.powerplanter.com Proplugger of www.proplugger.com World's coolest rain gauge www.worldscoolestraingauge.com Rootmaker of www.rootmaker.com Us coupon code TWVG at checkout and save 10% of your order Tomato snaps of www.tomatosnaps.com Chapin Manufacturing Inc. of www.chapinmfg.com Pomona pectin of www.pomonapectin.com Iv organics of www.ivorganics.com Dr. JimZ of www.drjimz.com Seed Savers Exchange of www.seedsavers.org Waterhoop of www.waterhoop.com Green Gobbler of www.greengobbler.com Nessalla koombucha of www.nessalla.com MI Green House LLC of www.migreenhouse.com Spartan mosquito of www.spartanmosquito.com Phyllom BioProducts of www.phyllombioproducts.com Happy leaf led of www.happyleafled.com Neptunes harvest of www.neptunesharvest.com Dripworks of www.dripworks.com We Grow Indoors of www.wegrowindoors.com Harvestmore of www.harvest-more.com Deer defeat www.deerdefeat.com Blue ribbon organics www.blueribbonorganics.com Bluemel's garden & landscape center www.bluemels.com Milwaukee,WI official garden center of the show Wisconsin Greenhouse company of https://wisconsingreenhousecompany.com/ Chip Drop of https://getchipdrop.com/?ref=wisconsinvegetable Tree-Ripe Fruit Co of https://www.tree-ripe.com/

Rhubarb is Yellowing Q: Areas of my Rhubarb leaves are turning yellow.  I can't seem to find a diagram identifying the parts of the rhubarb leaves, so please bear with me.  The part turning yellow is the area on either  side of the rib? That runs through the leaves.This has never happened before. A: With your Rhubarb and yellowing leaves, what it maybe is you have over watered it. You want to keep the soil damp. Also it is best to fertilize early in the spring 1/2 cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer is fine or something in the range and again in the fall. Apply the fertilizer in a circle around the plant. It is best not to fertilize new plants until the second year.  So no more Fertilizer right now, their may be too much in the soil and causing some element being blocked out and keeping others from up taking to the leaves. And if the leaves are changing color but the stem is still firm you maybe ok for harvest this year. If the stem get limp, remove all those that are this way to get them from the plant.   Soaking seeds Q: I soaked my chickpeas in a wet paper towel for 7 days then they were really mushy..i guess I should have just planted them directly in the soil,without pre soaking? can I use store bought chic peas? A:Yes you can use store bought dry . You can still soak them for a day and then plant them that will help. Keep in mind, Some beans and chickpeas  maybe too old to germinate well, while others are irradiated so they won't sprout. The seeds may also have a poor germination rate even if the seeds aren't treated to prevent germination because they haven't been stored at optimum conditions for planting. Cover crop is thick   Q:For the first time, 2019, I planted a cover crop (winter wheat) on my garden last fall.  Now, that I’m preparing the garden, I’m finding, dealing with the cover crop to be more of a challenge than I anticipated.  It’s like grass or sod.  Any suggestions here? A: With you cover crop situation. Our suggestion would be to cut it down and that will kill the plant. It will not regrow like a weed or a grass will when it is cut or mowed. After that you can allow it to dry and break down on the top of the soil or you can burn it off (safely) or till it  under.  Check out the companies that make the show possible Power Planter of www.powerplanter.com Proplugger of www.proplugger.com World's coolest rain gauge www.worldscoolestraingauge.com Rootmaker of www.rootmaker.com Us coupon code TWVG at checkout and save 10% of your order Tomato snaps of www.tomatosnaps.com Chapin Manufacturing Inc. of www.chapinmfg.com Pomona pectin of www.pomonapectin.com Iv organics of www.ivorganics.com Dr. JimZ of www.drjimz.com Seed Savers Exchange of www.seedsavers.org Waterhoop of www.waterhoop.com Green Gobbler of www.greengobbler.com Nessalla koombucha of www.nessalla.com MI Green House LLC of www.migreenhouse.com Spartan mosquito of www.spartanmosquito.com Phyllom BioProducts of www.phyllombioproducts.com Happy leaf led of www.happyleafled.com Neptunes harvest of www.neptunesharvest.com Dripworks of www.dripworks.com We Grow Indoors of www.wegrowindoors.com Harvestmore of www.harvest-more.com Deer defeat www.deerdefeat.com Blue ribbon organics www.blueribbonorganics.com Bluemel's garden & landscape center www.bluemels.com Milwaukee,WI official garden center of the show Wisconsin Greenhouse company of https://wisconsingreenhousecompany.com/ Chip Drop of https://getchipdrop.com/?ref=wisconsinvegetable Tree-Ripe Fruit Co of https://www.tree-ripe.com/
