well I havent been able to spot a caterpillar except the black and red one i explained and it was only 1 but my plants are outgrowing the gorging from the caterpillars... So just sprinkle cornmeal in the grow bins they eat their fill and then are slow and vulnerable?
so I just skipped all of the pesticides just lined my rock border with some sevndust but nothing on or close to plants, Still some leaves were getting eaten but I think they are all growing at such a rate that they cant be stopped. Lets hope the worst is over!
If I were to rub seven on the outside of the containers but not in the planters themselves do you feel that it would harm the integrity of my plants being organic long term? Yah I found a little grey catapillar looking thing last night on one that was about 1 cm long it was grey with a little...
All the scale seems to be gone but the pepper leaves are still getting eaten especially on the pepper plants with bug round leaves such as the one pictured above all my cayenne habanero and extremely hot peppers are fine.
Woke up to this today I picked all the remaining scale off and the bayer natria is a fatty acid based treatment I will also sprinkle sevindust around the garden but not in the planters
Now I don't want to use sevin dust on my plants but as you can see I made a marble chip border what if I lined sevin dust around it would that help with a barrier to deter some insects?
I'm sure I will be able to save majority of my plants I will try some pyrethrin if I can find it
Bonide brand pyrethin is the only one I can seem to find
I did see a moth looking pest the other day I will make sure I hit the underside of the leaves better next time or is neem oil a better alternative than using Bayer Natria for health terms of the plant and insect killing potency.
It is getting quite frustrating at this point I was opposed to...
I have recently expanded my hot pepper garden from 6 to 40 plants, I have tried bayer natria insecticidal soap with no results I have some photos that may help in identifying the suspect any and all help is greatly appreciated
