About this listen

 Join eccentric English gardener Nigel Thistledown as he shares four decades of muddy-kneed wisdom about the uninvited guests in every garden. In this delightfully witty episode of Bloom and Banter, Nigel discusses slugs, snails, aphids, whitefly, and other garden pests not as enemies to be destroyed, but as troublesome neighbors with their own fascinating lives. Through humorous anecdotes and hard-won experience, he reveals practical management techniques while maintaining that a sense of humor might be a gardener's most valuable tool. From midnight slug patrols in his dressing gown to hiring microscopic mercenaries to fight invisible mites, Nigel proves that pest management is equal parts science, art, and absurdity. Learn why perfection is overrated, why beneficial insects are worth their weight in gold, and how accepting imperfection might just save your sanity and your hostas.
