Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description
When I show growing biomass, I get asked about ticks and mosquitoes. Many fear these tiny creatures for good reasons. Both ticks and mosquitoes born illnesses are serious.
In "Preparing For Fall Cover Crops With Chop and Drop," a viewer asks if the tall grass is a breeding ground for ticks. You'll find that episode here, https://youtu.be/HzqycjudeIs
The secret is breaking the breeding cycles through exclusion, inclusion, and design. No perfect solution exists, but you can reduce the population of harmful insects. Today's episode shares specific strategies.
