Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond the Bloom: Creating Healthier Habitats with Ken Abernathy
Q: What other host plants or nectar sources do you recommend for a healthy pollinator garden?
In addition to milkweed, plant a variety of native salveas, monkey flowers, primroses, lavatera, penstemon and other nectar sources to support a wide range of pollinators and beneficial insects.
Beyond the Bloom: Creating Healthier Habitats with Ken Abernathy
Q: Is tropical milkweed still a good option for gardeners who want to support monarchs?
Tropical milkweed is easy to grow and popular, but its use is nuanced; it should be managed properly to avoid issues with OE and to ensure monarchs can complete their life cycle across their migratory range.
Beyond the Bloom: Creating Healthier Habitats with Ken Abernathy
Q: What can you tell our listeners about propagating milkweed?
Propagating milkweed is most practical starting from seed, though germination rates vary; once established, you can scale by tissue culture or more seeds, selecting the best stock for quality and diversity.
Worm Composting
Q: How can worm composting impact a home garden beyond producing soil amendments?
The discussion covered how worm castings and worm tea can suppress pests and enhance plant vigor, with examples like reduced whitefly issues on hibiscus when worm-derived inputs are applied, illustrating tangible benefits beyond fertilizer value.
Worm Composting
Q: What are the do's and don'ts for a worm bin?
She emphasized avoiding meat, dairy, fatty, salty, spicy foods, and feces in worm bins, while noting that cured manure can be used in small amounts and that citrus should be limited due to acidity; she also highlighted the importance of proper moisture, airflow, and temperature for worm health.
