Hey! I've got BT, wonder if it's still usable. I recall using a pump gizmo
(need to locate the darn thing in the barn) to 'spray' the dust on the
plants last time I had a garden worth tending. I like your idea but do not
have oat bran but have extra oats or flour. Suppose I could whirl some oats
in the blender or just use flour.
