Baking Soda Has Many Uses.....how about as a pesticide? Or maybe a fungicide? Today, let's look at how to use Baking Soda, or Sodium Bicarbonate, in the garden for an effective treatment against aphids, whiteflies, thrips, caterpillars, spider mites as well as prevention of fungal outbreaks such as powdery mildew.

There are a few caveats (of course), but as always, we'll cover it all and let you make the most informed choice for your garden! And don't forget to spray a test leaf first to ensure no phytotoxicity!

For those of you looking for a detailed, self-paced gardening course designed for both beginners as well as passionate growers, check out my new online course Vegetable Gardening Basics. We're now live and taking the first batch of enrollments! courses.theripetomatofarms.ca/courses/vegetable-ga…

  • Looking to grow your first vegetable garden? Or maybe you’ve given it a try in the past and didn’t enjoy the success you thought you would? Well, I designed a self-paced online gardening course just for you! 12 core chapters of a video-based program that will take you from complete beginner to garden master without having to sift through hours and hours of YouTube content. Videos that barely contain the relevant information you need to get started focusing on garden tours and channel updates rather than useful insight. With Vegetable Gardening Basics, we’ve changed all that and synthesized all the information I’ve learned over my 30 plus years of growing food down to all the key pieces of the puzzle to unlock your growing potential. Every basic skill, technique, tip, trick, you name it, its all here. A 150+ page high resolution PDF guidebook is also included to help reinforce and guide you along the way, making the learning and absorbing of the material even easier. Lifetime access is included, including any updates or extra content. The first batch of enrollment is now live, secure your spot today! courses.theripetomatofarms.ca/courses/vegetable-ga…

    My father was an organic farmer back in the 60's on a 7 acre farm in the burbs in NJ . Which people came from all around to get veggies and we even had Restaruants buy from us . Bug control was our chickens . Fertilizer was always aged manure and water came from rain barrels that we put bags in to make manure tea to spray in the gardens .We did the picking and planting and in the winter mom and I would make seed pots from newspapers Our equipment was wheelbarrows and rototillers and our hands and backs
  • Ants are trying to tell you that the soil around you where they nest is too dry, or aphids attack too much nitrogen fed plants, then the ants come in to use them as farmers, or combo of both. Great video btw, thanks.
