We have been staring at our tomato plants in an effort to find the caterpillars that are eating them. We stare and stare and – if we’re lucky – we find ONE of the big, fat green gloriously camouflaged critters and squash them.
Today at Lunch Bunch, my friend Kay told us about a product she and her husband use on their garden. “Eight.” She said you mix it with water and spray your plants. Usually, you only have to do it once for the season. She hasn’t had ANY pests eating her plants.
Assuming it cools off this evening – right now the actual temperature is 108 with a heat index of 113 – we’ll mix up a batch and spray everything. The man at the co-op said it was safe to use around our pets, and that it wouldn’t harm humans, either.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it works!
