Diatomaceous earth (food grade only) might work on them. I use my solo
sprayer with 3gl water, 1 tbls Golden soy oil (try any sticker like soap), and
cup of de. I spray at dusk to avoid bees. Agitate thoroughly then take the
whole tip off and squirt for second to get rid of heavy particles. Keep sloshing
the sprayer around to mix. When the tip gets clogged I remove and tap clean. Good luck, Breck -----Original Message----- Greetings, I just got through with the extension agent identifying the bugs
causing havoc in my garden. All are new this year, we have never had them
before, but it has been weird weather. The Agent could identify critters, but he only has chemical answers, nothing sustainable or
organic. Wire worm leaf footed bug stink bug field cockroach - this one he had to look up, he hadn't seen it before. Is there any one treatment that will get the works? I did read
the stuff on leaf footed bugs this AM, does it have to be essential oil of peperment? Would a peppermint tea work? [I have MCS] Suggestions appreciated. I did apply seaweed extract to support
the plants while I was waiting for my appointment and I do have compost tea
brewing that will be ready tommorow, to give the plants some help. Bright Blessings, Kim Travis The _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming |
