Good Bug/Bad Bug on Edible Plants
UC Master Gardeners, Spring Edibles Series 5 of 5
April 9, 2021, 1:00pm-2:15pm
Before you grab insecticide to rid your vegetable garden from all those creeping, crawling, flying bugs, learn to separate the “good bugs” from the “bad bugs.” This intermediate class will focus on encouraging the good bugs to work for you, saving money and time wasted on treating your garden with unnecessary insecticides and on keeping your home and garden healthy. You will learn to identify the most common and destructive pests on edible plants, identify beneficial insects that will help your edible garden thrive, how to invite the good bugs into your garden and safely send the bad ones on their way, the basics of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and where to find science based information and healthy solutions for your garden pest problems. Registration required.
