[quote:Anonymous Coward 73954173:MV80ODU3NjM3Xzg4NzA2NDE3Xzk0MjEzQUI5] [quote:Crypto-Tard:MV80ODU3NjM3Xzg4NzA2MzYxXzM3NEMxRkNF] You can use pesticides like neem oil, which is a handy thing to keep around for a variety of gardening problems. If you have a handful of tomato plants, you can pick them off (wear gloves) and smash them with your boot on the ground. [/quote] I will pick up some neem oil thanks. I have been killing those things like crazy but they are reproducing faster than I can possibly keep up with. TONS of babies. My husband sprayed the ground around but away from the plants with pesticide. I also have some diatomaceous earth. Could I use that also? [/quote]
Original Message
This is only my second year of gardening. But now that I have all my fertilizing and planting techniques down pat, and have BEAUTIFUL, gorgeous, lucious plants loaded with fruit/veggies, I have one serious problem.
CATERPILLARS!!! In a matter of two days my tomatoes and peppers are infested!! I picked off atleast 100 and they have reproduced so damn rapidly and are just destroying my crops. I wanna cry.
What can I use to keep caterpillars and critters away!? Any special pesticides (organic) or flowers that will deter them!?
Thanks ahead!
