Pest mitigation is an unfortunate part of the practical gardener's responsibilities, but a little prevention goes a long way. Host Pam Geisel gives some instructions to help ward off the bagrada bug — a little plant-muncher (who loves tomatoes and pomegranates) making its way up California. It's already been spotted in Sacramento and Yolo counties.
The Practical Gardener, hosted by Pam Geisel, aims to provide practical, research-based solutions to garden problems. It airs Saturdays on weekly rotation with NSPR's other From the Ground Up shows, In a North State Garden and Edible North State.
