earth Gardeners Cannabis Consulting
🌿 Improve your Cultivation System
At Earth Gardeners, we help Massachusetts cannabis growers strengthen their operations through sustainable, science-based practices.
Led by Erik N. Vegeto — horticulturist, licensed Massachusetts pesticide applicator, and B.S. Plant & Soil Science graduate from UMass Amherst — our consulting services focus on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) while supporting all aspects of cultivation design and optimization.
🐞 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Consulting
Pest and disease pressure can derail even the most carefully managed grow. With pesticide regulations tightening and biological systems becoming more complex, having a customized, compliant IPM plan is essential.
Our IPM consulting helps cultivators:
- Diagnose and address active pest and disease issues
- Develop preventive IPM programs tailored to their facility
- Audit sanitation, airflow, and environmental conditions
- Integrate biological controls and cultural practices
- Train staff in pest identification, scouting, and treatment safety
- Ensure regulatory compliance and documentation readiness
Our approach combines ecology, experience, and efficiency — reducing crop losses while keeping your cultivation environment healthy and productive.
💡 Additional Cultivation Support
While IPM is at the heart of our work, we also provide targeted consulting in related areas of production:
- Nutrient & Soil Management: Assessing fertility programs and substrate health for optimal growth.
- Canopy & Foliage Management: Structuring plants for airflow, light efficiency, and disease reduction.
- Propagation & Nursery Systems: Helping you build resilient starts for healthy future crops.
- Environmental Optimization: Collaborating on airflow, humidity, and temperature balance within your facility.
Our goal is to meet you where your operation is today — and help you grow from there.
