I totally agree with you on foliar feeding....And WOW!! Thanks!! I didn't know I could foliar feed with the bt in the mix. That is some very useful information.

You can mix a lot of things but I never like to do that (at least not for now). I like to see how they respond. I might mix BT, spinosad or azamax with my most innocuous foliar feed (Foliar Harmony 2-4-2). It will help when the budding nears the end as it will cut down on mold risk. I'll probably spray until just a couple of weeks before harvest.

Im new & maybe this is dumb..... but couldnt you build a scaffold and tent over your plants & then set off one of those gas "bug bomb"? You are supposed to let those things go for a couple hours, so you could do it really early or at night so it wont roast in the sun & then take down the tent. This would kill everything & the eggs too. What do you veteran growers think?

Yeah setting up the scaffolding every time you have a bug problem would be time consuming and and tiring.......better to just get an atomizer or fogger and blast your plants once a week.....maybe twice if it rains hard

Am I a chicken because i am scared to go in my garden during the heat of the day? because there is like 60-100 wasps flying through my garden and i got stung 3 times the other day on the side of my house. I like the wasps because they are destroying the bugs in my garden. i even put a kiddy pool full of water in my backyard to give them a water source and they seem to like since there is constant flow of them landing on top of the water to take a quick drink. I have 3 cantaloupe sized wasp nest around my residence that i know of. If the little bastards were not such an asset i would kill them off in a heart beat. wasps= Caterpillar destroyer lol.....

lol my girlfriend told me to kill the nest's yesterday and just spray more of that stuff that smells like nasty pee ( she is referring to the BT) to kill the caterpillars, but the wasps are doing a nice job keeping the pests at bay. Might have to kill two nests and leave one.

I accidentally almost uprooted one plant lol. I ended up pulling it any ways because it was so stunted due to worm damage
