Join Kate at Four Acre Farm! In this course, Kate will offer her expert advice for how to protect plants from pests, whilst respecting the soil and wildlife! 

‍

Pests are natural and inevitably some lucky critters will stumble upon your new diverse allotment with plenty for them to feast on. They may be trouble-makers, but it's very important to work alongside nature, at Roots we all grow organically. 

‍

When harmful chemicals are used they don't just kill the pest you want to get rid of, they kill everything else around it including pollinators and the microbes in your soil! 

‍

Creating a habitat for predatory pests, which will prey on the pests you don't want, is a great place to start.
