Nursery Plants Winter Cleanup
Who wants to spend time plucking leaves in a cold greenhouse in January? No one! But I can give you a few good reasons to winter clean plants in your backyard nursery: blackspot, powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, aphids, whitefly, thrips, spider mites and slugs/snails. The list goes on: all those dead and standing leaves (and even the top layer of soil in your nursery pots) harbor any variety of pests and disease. If you want to give your plants the best chance to come into the spring season clean, it might mean a few gloomy days working in your greenhouse this winter.
Wish me luck!
I don't mention it in the video, but remember that the old leaves, stems and soil you remove shouldn't go into compost destined for the garden.
If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
