Why This Grower Puts Bugs Right Into Flowers
Earlier this year, I took a tour at one of Clearview Horticulture's production sites in this video: https://youtu.be/QZ1rcO_FznM At the time, my host Rob Wein described in part their transition to using beneficial insects in preference to spraying hard pesticides. A little later on in the season, I was able to catch up with Rob's son, Robbie. Robbie worked with Clearview's growing team to implement this new integrated pest management (IPM) approach. In this video I talk with Robbie about his approach to pests, and he even has some recommendations for the home gardener.
I know I teased this video much earlier in the year, so my apologies to the viewers for the delay in processing this interview into a video. There's always something to do on the farm, and I wasn't able to squeeze in the editing time until just now.
Many thanks to the Wein family and the staff at Clearview who were so accommodating for my tour and interview videos. I hope we can do it again!
