We do a deep dive into your garden questions on this episode. We attempt to identify a giant wasp in a listener’s yard.
A mysterious, underground white fungus has another listener perplexed.
And we help out people who want to attract beneficial insects and pollinators to their garden.
It’s all on episode 118 of the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, brought to you today by Smart Pots.
And we will do it all in under 30 minutes. Let’s go!
