603: Spotting Beneficial Predators in Your Garden

The Urban Farm Podcast with Greg Peterson

Gardening tips, tricks, and advice in short, bite-size episodes.

Marlene Simon from Flower Power Garden Hour podcast returns for an eye-opening chat on understanding all stages of the bug life cycle. Marlene tells us what signs to look for when certain eggs or insects appear in your garden, as our first instinct is to kill them however these could be indicators of nature working in your favor. Bugs also have the added benefit of helping us identify whether plants are healthy or not as Marlene says “Bad bugs are attracted to stressed plants”.
