Module 5 · Spotting trouble early — the weekly walk

Recall + plans

Make it stick

Two quick things that do more for retention than re-reading ever will: turn the module into if-then plans, then pull the key facts back from memory.

Tie it to something you already do

Finish each line — an intention pinned to an existing habit is far more likely to happen than a vague resolution.

  • If it is my chosen walk day, then I will look at every plant and add a line to the log.
  • If I find a pest on one plant, then I will move it away from the others and check its neighbours the same day.
  • If a plant has changed since last week, then I will note it and act while the change is still small.
  • If I am checking a plant, then I will turn a few leaves over rather than only looking at the tops.

Quick recall

Answer each from memory first — then flip.

  • Q1. What is the weekly walk and why does it matter?

  • Q2. Why do you turn leaves over during the walk?

  • Q3. Name two things to check on each plant during the walk.

  • Q4. Why keep a written log instead of just looking?

  • Q5. You find a pest on one plant — what is the first move?
