Send him your questionA first look
Ask why first.
The usual answer is what to spray and when. Steve’s first question is why the pest turned up at all.
A pest is a message
Pests and disease aren’t just bad luck. They turn up most on plants that are out of balance, so a pest is often telling you something about the plant’s health before it tells you what to spray.
This episode treats immunity as an outcome of plant health: health first, and protection follows.
