Hey everyone, Kevin from Epic Gardening here.

We are continuing on with the best of weeks here on the podcast.

Hope you enjoy.

What's going on everyone?

Welcome back to the Epic Gardening podcast.

I'm Kevin and I'm here with Nicole Masters, international agro-cologist, and you know,

we've been giving you guys some really good information, solutions, you know, practical solutions

and theory as well about making sure you have really healthy soil.

But there's a piece of this that we haven't touched on yet and it's a piece that we did

touch on a little bit last month with Jessica Wallister relating to how insects and plants

communicate with each other.

What attracts insects to plants and how you might even be able to alter or change those

signals to your own benefit in the garden.

So Nicole, why don't we just kind of start out with basically what's actually going on

here?

Yeah, it's really interesting.

I think people just assume that there's insect pests like, and that's a given.

And, you know, if someone gives me an organic apple and it's got a coddling moth damage

in it and they go here, it's organic, it's lovely, I'll go no, it's garbage, I don't want

to eat it.

Look, if the insect is in there and wanting to eat that, it's telling you something about

the quality of that food.
