RE: Garden Journal 2019 | Pests!
All caterpillars I find go to the landfill. I can only assume they arrive alive and have an amazing adventure afterwards. One day they are getting fat in my garden the next they are captured in a net and place in a bin for a drive!
Thanks for sharing your solution. If they start to become bigger issue than they are I’ll consider changing my warfare tactics. For now its ants!!!!
I been thinking about looking deeper into Diatomaceous Earth.
diatomaceous earth is pretty effective but is indiscriminate killer of invertebrates. Bt is much more targeted, particular strains of the bacterium are effective against particular insects. You can buy Bt strains at gardening stores that will kill caterpillars and almost nothing else.
