*** My little basil is getting decimated by something, full of holes - I haven’t been able to figure out what. I don’t want to use anything on it that will mess it up for culinary use. I love basil so this is really irritating.***
I found this on the internet.

Also, I have a small bottle of a newer product called ARBER bio-insecticide. I haven’t tried it yet, but it says it controls or suppresses mites, thrips, aphids, and whiteflies on vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc, so I am thinking it might work on herbs.
If anyone knows what might work on herbs, I’m all ears, too.
Thanks for the link - I actually have already seen that article a day or two ago.
Still not sure what to do - poor basil is being majorly munched on & I don’t see anything when I check the plant (definitely not groundhogs LOL!).
I may cover it with a wire basket covered with row cover, after I inspect every leaf, & see if that helps.
Cool & rain all week .... some steady rain this afternoon & in the 50’s so no outside work going on. The one ‘bright’ spot today: the truck passed inspection with no problems. Since I put 16K miles on it last year pulling the trailer while moving, I was worried about tires & brakes, but all was ok :-)
