Pests & Management

We use some of the IPM methods mentioned in the article and a few others.
https://www.rainshadoworganics.com/integrated-pest-management-at-rainshadow/ 

Our pest challenges are 1) cut worms in brassicas, 2) aphids in kales, 3) flea beetles in chinese cabbage, pac choi and mizuna, 4) leaf miners in spinach, chard, beets, 5) birds in young lettuce or spinach 6) cabbage moths.

We employ crop rotation, natural fertilizers & compost, toothpick rings, wait to outgrow, bird net, neem oil, marigolds, hose blasting, and hand smashing.
