Hey all, As the title suggests, I got a pest problem. I’ve tried diatomaceous Earth and spinosad spray, neither of which seem to work. I’m pretty sure they’ve killed my crop for this year. I’m wondering what you all do. I’m trying to avoid truly nasty pesticides, and I honestly don’t have the drive to physically remove them, so for me, those two options are right out. I’m willing to keep trying spinosad, I think it’s mostly that it rains a day or two later, and it’s gone by the time the next batch of eggs hatch. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Does work though. I used it near strawberries for the same kinda effect and it does keep insects further away.
I ended up pulling it all out though cause the creep was getting bad. I feel like lemon balm or citronella is gonna be my next test.
Cool to hear it works! It doesn’t grow that high, so as long as it makes for a decent companion plant it’s not a bad idea.
