Pest and Weed Management

Join organic market gardener Dionysios “Dennis” Touliatos at Summerhouse Community Farm to learn how to control common pests and weeds in your garden or food growing site. Dennis will talk you through the most common pests and weeds, how to identify them and what organic control methods can be used for their management.

This session will cover:

• Understanding what common pests and weeds indicate about your growing system.
• Common pests and ecological strategies to minimise the impact on your crops.
• Different approaches to managing weeds and their pros and cons.

This session is suitable for anyone interested in growing their own food, whether in a garden, allotment or community growing space.
