I've got seeds from a friend down the road from me who grows cowhorn every year and iv saved seeds from those plants for the past maybe 4 or 5 years. 🐯
If you have ant problems on your okra, you already know the size of the seed. You already know what the bloom looks like. You already know the plant is green and it gets real tall. Just need to know how to keep ants off.
How do I get the ants off the bottoms of leaves or flowers?Tjank you for making this video. I just love okra and really fought ants last year. The base of your okra plant looked hearty. By the time my okra got that big to paint the base, I’d already have them all over my leaves. Any advice?
This isn't the exact product but one just like it I used. Catch EM' Sticky Coating 8oz Brush on Insect Trap Coating(Brush Cap) a.co/d/03pbw0CW. I provided this link for ease of identification. I get nothing if you click this link.
This will not nullify organic gardening since there is no contact with the fruit or ground. It's nothing more than a thick type of glue that doesn't harden.
@@GrowTheEarth Thank you. One of the reviews stated it creates a weak mess on the stalk/trunk and causes it to fall over? Did you experience any damage to your okra? Mine are between 3-7 feet tall. I would hate to lose any of them. I’m in 9b
Mine are close to 8ft now and the only thing I have is a brown area that's full of bugs where it was applied. I haven't seen any negative effects from it at all. My okra are producing better than they ever had actually.
@@debbubbly9841 Vaseline wouldn't last in the heat we have here it would turn into a runny mess that would run down the stalk and end up in the ground.
vaseline may work. I personally haven't tried it. This product basically turns the trunk of the plant into a big sticky trap but im sure you could almost get the same effect from vaseline. My only concern would be if it comes off and the consequences of it being in the soil.
Yeah this is my first time growing okra so I didn't actually know this but ants are literally chewing the leaves up and now they're attacking a couple of the Oprah's that have sprouted off the plant and to my four 5 plants already have yellow okra pieces I'm kind of pissed cuz I put some pesticides down and it's like it's not even slowing them down
Ants are hard to deal with. My latest video is a safe organic spray that begins to kill the ant hill within minutes and be completely inactive in 24 hrs.
@@GrowTheEarth luckily I found a plant and animal friendly alternatives to a few Google searches last night, the only downside is I have to read administer it once every couple days. But it killed them instantly, it was one cup of warm water, one tablespoon of dish soap, and one cup of either vegetable or olive oil and I put it in a spray bottle, world around enough to mix the oil and water and sprayed it and the Ants instantly died and so did the aphids that I had noticed for on my potato plants. Vegetable and olive oil is actually good for plants which I did not know that. But I appreciate the good tips about the sticky stuff I'm definitely ordering some and I got all the lower branches closed off so the ants don't have multiple ways onto my plants. Again thank you so much, I haven't grown okra before and learned a lot about when to pick it. And how it goes to seed I'll definitely be doing that with a few pods. Great video brother and informative I'm definitely subscribing to your channel, I am good with tomato plants I have a dozen varieties growing both inside and outside my house, inside I have total control of most things like rain not wasing nutrients away, controlling disease, and pests the trade off is electricity and hand pollination

double sided tape would be affected by the elements too much I would think. Give it a try. I am by no means an expert and there is always a better way.
Thank you for interacting with this video. This was a video I made very early on in my RUclips channel. What things would you like to see a video on? Things you may struggle with as a gardener?

I have used Tanglefoot for trees on my okra plants for years. It's also cheap and can be found at stores.
can you list the name of the sticky stuff, or hold the bottle still where we can read it.......or
Tangle free sticky coating
You can also use Tanglefoot for trees.
Thanks for this. I had the seedlings in the ground but had to transplant them back into large pots due to pests.
Thank u sir great video , have a blessed day

It says growing guide AND how to keep ants away.... I found the info quite valuable.
Your okra plants are beautiful! Thank you for the great tips! And thank you for the scripture reading from the Book of Proverbs. God bless! 🙏🏼
Thank you! It's all God's work and not mine.
Thanks so much, I’m ordering this asap
What a great ideal ! Cheers !

Thank you so much! They are tearing up my beautiful 7 ft okra!
What is the name of glue you put on okra plant to prevent ants from

Will this null an organic garden gardening method? Is it food grade?

Ermmm how about using vaseline...ants hate vaseline that is petroleum jelly
@@debbubbly9841 Vaseline wouldn't last in the heat we have here it would turn into a runny mess that would run down the stalk and end up in the ground.
Hi Grow the earth what about using Vaseline will it not do same job as this product you used from Amazon with the brush? Australia
vaseline may work. I personally haven't tried it. This product basically turns the trunk of the plant into a big sticky trap but im sure you could almost get the same effect from vaseline. My only concern would be if it comes off and the consequences of it being in the soil.
Don't use Vaseline. When it melts or it rains you will have a petroleum product in your soil. Oh No!

Amen brother! Which okra variety that you've grown over the years has the best yields?
The most prolific plants we have have to be the red burgundy okra. always large strong plants that produce great.
Ants ruined mine last year. So thank you for the helpful needed tips!
iOS
Do I need to support my okra plants where they get that dang big
No. The stalks will thicken up and will be almost like a tree. My okra right now are coming up on 8' tall.
This method will be very laborous if you have a large commercial farm. Ain't it?
large commercial farms tend to use chemicals to kill pest. I have a much different approach since it's a small garden that I grow organically.
Nice video on okra, and it’s usual suspects! 😅
Thank you for the comment!
I wonder if you could have accomplished the same thing with some $ store double sided tape 😂
double sided tape would be affected by the elements too much I would think. Give it a try. I am by no means an expert and there is always a better way.
Horrible job with this video... he didn't properly show the product and he took way long
He taking too long to address the ants!!!
