10/4/23 ~ One of my classes I’m taking this semester that I haven’t mentioned is Horticulture Pest Control. I know, I know… I want to do sustainable gardening. That’s what I was thinking when I found out I had to take this class for my program.

And what’s funny is, if I pass my license exam, I’ll be a certified pest control person 😆

I’m learning the pros and cons to pest control and it’s actually very interesting. How to culturally do it before it even becomes a problem and then taking chemical actions if it is a problem. But it is very interesting learning both sustainable and non-sustainable sides of pest control. And how we actually add a bunch of our unwanted pest in our yard by doing certain things we think help our yard.

Maybe I’ll get into that sometime, I don’t know 😆 Would any of you be interested in things of that nature? Or nah?!😂

Anywayyyy —

I am being sustainable, and that’s what I’ve always done and always wanted in my garden. So I’m going to stick to my guns & continue to treat my yard/plants with organic, botanical and/or biological practices 👩🏻‍🌾

I’m learning about biological & botanical pesticides, fungicides & herbicides. So far in the garden - I’ve handpicked all my problems, used neem oil & diatomaceous earth. Since I’m educating myself, I may invest and try out some new biological products for my garden for the next year. 😇 It’s all about learning & testing things out yourself, folks!
