RE: Garden Journal: Solstice Update From the Laughing Dragon Garden

With soil so devoid of life, and an unbalanced soil, pests will have a field day with the weaken plants. They will seek them out over healthy plants as they can digest them better.
But it looks like many things did ok for you. I hate the slugs too!

We're trying to bring it all into balances again. In talking with a few neighbors who keep gardens, pests seems to have been a particular problem this year. I suspect there has been a dying out of some key predator; we've seen no weasels or stoats this year at all, and they are usually plentiful. Our local flocks of coyotes are also conspicuous by their absence.
