The great and powerful Matthew Gates AKA Synchangel is back on the show for an episode about Croptober pest prevention! Matthew dives deep into the most common and detrimental pests that affect our gardens late in the harvest cycle- and how to prevent them. He covers all things bud worms and moths, including their breeding and behavior- which is crucial to understand in order to stop them. The bud worm conversation leads to a discussion about botrytis- which goes right along with the bud worm damage- and Matthew Gates gives us a great overview on how to avoid this powerful and undesirable fungus. Synchangel also touches on the less vigorous but still undesirable powdery mildew, and how to reduce the environmental stimuli that trigger this powdery pest!
