THE SOLUTION TO THE TYPE I GARDEN CHALLENGE
START READING THE HIGH PERFORMANCE GARDENING EBOOK
Hi, I’m Lynn Gillespie, organic gardener and farmer for the past 3 decades.
I am so excited to share with you the solutions to those garden challenges you have been having.
But before we get to the answers, let’s take a look at your results.
Based on your age, region, and gardening habits, you have the Type I Garden Challenge.
This garden challenge may not affect you right away. You might go out and plant your garden, excited for the future produce ahead of you.
But then, once your plants are blossoming and developing fruit. You notice invaders.
This invaded garden challenge can be a good thing, in that you have can experience early success. All of your early growth in the garden can look great. But then the bugs and critters come in and eat your harvest.
Now, the treatments can be simple, once you know what to do.
The difficulty is that by focusing on this one problem, you might sacrifice on getting the best production possible out of your garden, even with these treatments I’m going to tell you about.
I want to tell you some things you can do yourself, starting today.
As we look at the solutions, I want to share with you the top 4 gardening challenges that have been experienced by gardeners.
The 3 other challenges besides the Invaded Garden include -
Type S Garden Challenge- is SOIL that is poor and grows stunted plants.
Type E Garden Challenge - is a garden grown in a difficult ENVIRONMENT.
Type P Garden Challenge -is a garden that does not PRODUCE enough for your needs.
Each of these issues are intertwined and can even be experienced at the same time.
Addressing only one issue at a time might seem like the best option, but it can greatly affect the other 3 challenges.
If you focus too much on eradicating the bugs and critters from your garden, you will not spend the time fixing your soil, which will grow poor and stunted plants that are not productive.
This can be an endless cycle if you do not find a new solution.
Before we talk about how to bring a solution to all of the challenges you will experience in the garden, let’s get the specific prescription for the invaded garden.
I will give you three solutions to fix your invaded garden challenges and I will tell you how to get the solution to end the other top garden challenges at the end of the article
3 Solutions for the Invaded Garden
For an invaded garden, you will need a very specific 3 step solution.
The first step is to protect the garden, using fences, gates and other physical barriers.
The first line of defense for critters, is a solid fence. Also, growing in a raised bed garden, will help to prevent from pests digging into the garden. By lining the bottom of the garden with hardware cloth, you should prevent these pests from digging in.
To prevent your pets from damaging the crops, or the cats using the beds as a litter box. I like to take stiff 6 x 6 concrete mesh and lay it across my garden beds. Once the plants have become well established I can take this mesh out and let them flourish.
Watch in your email inbox, for a helpful chart of organic fixes to keep wildlife out.
The second step is to patrol the garden and catch the bugs and critters from eating the produce of the garden.
There are organic solutions that can get rid of the majority of pests, but you will greatly increase the likelihood of those solutions working by making sure to patrol the garden. If you take the time to look, you can identify a problem before it’s swallowed up your garden. If you find you are having trouble discovering what is eating your plants, take a flashlight at night and patrol the garden. This is when the bugs will be most active in the garden.
The third step is to prevent the bugs from eating using organic solutions.
The most common pests are - aphids, leafminer, cabbage worm, and slugs.
These organic solutions are safe for your soil and I have had great success with them.
For each of these solutions, you will apply two times a week to rid the garden of the pest and then 1x a week as maintenance.
For aphids, use Safer Soap with Pyrethrin, you will mix up a spray bottle as directed on the back of the package and spray the affected plants.
For leaf miner and cabbage worm, you will use a spray that has Spinosad. My favorite spray that contains spinosad is Captain Jack’s Dead Bug Brew.
For Slugs, Sluggo Plus will do the trick. This organic bait is great to keep damage down for slugs, earwigs, and a host of other creepy crawlies.
Treat as you go and use these three tips for the invasions in your garden.Get out ahead of the problem by patrolling regularly.
This can be a lot to add in, as a new routine, but it won’t fix the biggest issue that your plants really have. A plant will attract pests and wildlife when it is in distress. The majority of vegetables are not being fed enough of the key nutrients they need to grow to their greatest genetic potential. To solve this you will need to feed the garden compost and fertilizer day in and day out. This is expensive and a band-aid fix, not a long term solution, unless you have unlimited amounts of money to pour into your soil.
The shortcut solution I have found to this and all of the challenges in the garden, is that you need to plan and prepare a new system.
The majority of gardeners struggle with the state of their soil, and until a system is set in place to care for it, there will be a lot of effort and money invested in pest control, fertilizers, and with low rewards.
Because you have the Invaded Garden Challenge, you will need to be careful as you apply these 3 solutions I have just told you about. As doing this will change the balance in your garden and could potentially bring up new challenges.
What I mean is, once you address the pests, you will experience a momentary relief in the garden. But I have found in my own experience for this to be short lived. The bugs are a symptom of the problem, not the real problem.
Later in the season, you will notice that your plants are looking distressed and are stunted. Because 99% of gardeners struggle with poor soil conditions, you will find that the pests aren’t bothering the plants, but now your plants are starving from not enough nutrients from the dirt
In an effort to feed the plants you might try feeding the garden on a schedule, but the cost of feeding the plants and the increase in time you spend trying to make the well fed weeds go away, can be taxing.
As you try to balance this, your plants are not producing much, and your family was depending on this produce to supplement to your diet!
The garden is starting to be more trouble than it is truly worth.
Fixing just one thing, sets off a host of other problems.
So, for the BEST results you address all of the challenges at once.
For this you will need to follow these 5 easy do it yourself steps to get started.
5 Steps to Building a New Garden System
1. Use Raised Beds with New Soil
These raised beds will cut your garden time in half, reduce your weeds and reduce that amount of feed that you will need to put on the garden. This also allows for you to build the perfect soil once. This saves so much money as you won’t be trying to supplement the soil as you go, which can become expensive and time consuming.
2. Feed plants on a schedule
Even with the perfect soil, you will find that the plants will grow hungry as they feed off of the nutrients in the soil. By setting up a schedule, you can make sure to feed the plants exactly what they need, when they need it. No more pouring endless amounts of fertilizers out to your plants. For my heavy feeder plants, I give them a cup of my compost and a tablespoon of an organic fertilizer that contains trace minerals. This is done on a 4 week schedule through the growing season. This technique grows produce with the best taste possible!
3. Carefully Plan the Season
This technique can be tricky for many gardeners. Really what it requires is a quiet afternoon with your garden seeds in hand and a notepad and a pencil. By scheduling crops to follow each other through the garden to maximize all of the weeks you can grow, will be a great way to know exactly how to get the most out of your garden.
4. Use Organic Pest Control and Protection
This is important in making sure that your soil is kept healthy. Many of the non organic pesticides can damage your plants and ultimately your produce. Stay with organic methods and make sure to watch the garden for clues of invaders.
5. Grow with, not Against, your Climate.
When planning out your garden, make sure to find out how many weeks you have, when the average frost dates are and research the average temperatures. This is invaluable information. This way you can choose plant varieties that thrive with those limitations your climate has. Knowing this information also gives you a clue for the infrastructure such as covers to protect your garden.
These five steps are the beginning of installing a new modern garden system into your backyard. I want to help you combine all of these fixes into an organic ecosystem that works in harmony
I have been in your shoes when it comes to a frustrating garden.
Three decades ago, I moved in with my new husband to his family’s three generation farm. Excited to support my family, I decided to plant a garden. The garden was rototilled and planted, in long rows. And then, the weeds came up.
Then, I found that the bugs and wildlife were feasting on the plants. As I poured organic pesticides on the plants, I noticed they were withered, they were starving from the poor soil. I slowly lost ground in the garden until it was a big weedy mess.
Over 30 years I worked to balance my new garden system.
