When pruning a tree, be sure not to make cuts into the bark 😮😰

If you're planning to do some large limb dormant pruning over the winter be sure you do it correctly. Use the 3 step removal process.

An interesting way to deal with spider mites and aphids 🐞❤️!

🐞 Ladybugs are garden heroes! 🐞 They feed on pests such as aphids and spider mites that might otherwise snack on your plants.

Using natural pest predators such as ladybugs as an alternative to chemical pesticides helps keep harmful chemicals out of the environment and our waterways. This is one way to implement Integrated Pest Management into your gardening practice!

Turn your fallen leaves into mulch! Avoid having them go into the storm drain and clog things up 🍂🍁🍂.

Fallen leaves may feel like a nuisance in the yard, but don't let them onto the street where they can clog the storm drain! Instead, consider using them for mulch! When shredded or chopped, leaf mulch:
🍂 improves soil by feeding earthworms and beneficial microbes
🍂 keeps soil warmer in cool months
🍂 suppresses w**d growth
🍂 reduces erosion
🍂 prevents leaves from clogging our storm drains

This week we had a few dozen Loma Linda University Health students and some community volunteers help tidy up our garden this week. Also, we were able to get our main production area up and running. Thank you to all that participated and LLU CAPS for their support.
