Love from India ❤️
Yes Sir, especially Spaghetti Squash. Get your plants out early. Using BT & Spinasad (sp?) per your advice. Thank You!!! ☺️☺️
Give to the chickens 🐓
The worms add some protein 😋
I feed my worms to my garden lizzards. That'll teach those worms to get on my plants. Also, in store bought pickles, when sliced open you can tell where a worm has been. Have you ever opened a jar of pickles and found a worm floating on the top. I have. Threw those away.
Never knew about this. Thank you
And soak your veggies in salt water before eating. It'll drive any worms out of them. It's actually kinda cool watching it happen 😊
We got’em bad this year in W Central Fl! Cukes, melons, and my pumpkins! Squash bugs are something fierce also right now down here!
Didn’t know about the pickle worms dang.
What's your opinion on a regular schedule, twice/week.. once/week?
I use fine mesh nets. Amazon has em. Only thing that works for me. Tried many sprays and they only work for a little while. The nets keep the moths out especially at night. That’s when they lay their eggs.
I use spinosad and BT just like you recommended Travis and it is working fabulously!! I found BT powder and concentrated spinosad (liquid BT less/not effective) and they work the best. It also helps that we are not getting rain so I dont need to spray as much.
I had a bumper crop of pickle worms this year, so I just tore out the plants and gonna try again in the fall.
Hey hey hey Trav😊
