Good Morning. We have taters, bell peppers, onions, and cucumbers. Mellons are not ripe yet. Can’t catch a break with the tomatoes.
Having a lot of trouble with squirrels eating them. We have cages around them, but did not make the diameter large enough, the little buggers can still reach some of them.
Yesterday, we woke up to caterpillars which had stripped the leaves on one plant, and eaten the best tomatoes. Went to walmart to get some BT or something and all they had was something called ECOsense.
The fine print says the name is not intended to imply environmental safety. Contains pyrethrins, canola oil, and mostly botanical insecticides(specifics not listed). Probably going to take it back, but I will research it a little more first.
Any one know for sure what I could use that is a little more friendly to humans, and the environment. We have a well so I am always reluctant to add any pollutant to our soil.
The only place I have found BT is at our county co-op.
