Its principal characteristic is the synthesis, during sporulation, of a crystalline inclusion containing proteins known as delta-endotoxins or Cry proteins. These proteins have insecticidal properties. That was my understanding, anyway. ;) /johnny Post Reply | Private Reply | To 296 | View Replies
WEEKLY GARDEN THREAD VOLUME 3, JANUARY 17, 2014 Wednesday, January 22, 2014 6:44:49 PM · 297 of 375 JRandomFreeper to SisterK It's one of the few things I use, besides DE. I try to be careful not to use anything that will damage the micro-biota in my soil. I find that if I take care of the micro-fauna in the soil, the vegetables do just fine. /johnny Post Reply | Private Reply | To 296 | View Replies
WEEKLY GARDEN THREAD VOLUME 3, JANUARY 17, 2014 Wednesday, January 22, 2014 5:34:09 PM · 293 of 375 JRandomFreeper to SisterK One shot seems to do it. I've even used it after they have started damaging the stem and it stopped the borer. (duh, should have done it earlier). I use about .5 to 1 cc per stem. I don't carefully measure it. I load up the syringe and hit all the plants that are vulnerable, one after the other. /johnny Post Reply | Private Reply | To 292 | View Replies

I am tired from reading every post of Johnny's looking for this. He posts a lot of comments. LOL Anyway, this exchange is when I bought cukes and yellow squash for this year. Now I need to get 2 cattle panels home from Tractor Supply.
Now, I want some cucuzza seeds...and I’m gonna need a longer cattle panel..
Thanks for looking that up. I’ll copy it and get some of that if I can find it as backup to my DE or along with it.
Just wait until I have internet restored on Wed. I’ll be back to my voluable self, and making tons of comments.;)
