Preventing Common Veggie Garden Pests / Diseases Safely and Sustainably 

Brad Halm and Colin McCrate of Seattle Urban Farm Company

Sunday, April 21, 1pm – 2:30pm

Tired of 'aftermath' gardening? Want to prevent pests and diseases? Years of experience managing commercial and home vegetable gardens in the Northwest have taught us that there are many unwanted insect pests and diseases that food gardeners will almost surely see during the season. The best chance for success in combating these problems is to anticipate them - and to be prepared to act even before they arrive. We will share photos and discuss preventative measures that you can take before problems arise and, and arm you with an arsenal of earth-friendly and sustainable solutions to existing problems.
