In this video, I show how to boost a plant's natural defenses to outsmart pests and disease, keeping plants healthier longer than ever without using any sprays or chemicals. This incredible gardening method has forever changed the way I will garden, and it works by eliminating plant stress so they can stop disease naturally before it starts.
Three things are required for plant diseases to take hold: a susceptible host plant, an environment that colonizes the required pathogens, and enough of the pathogen to overwhelm a plant's natural defenses. While you can't change the host plant or your environment, you can maximize your plant's defenses, keeping it strong enough to ward off disease. This video will teach you how I accomplished this!
