RE: The Dreaded Hornworm!
Just learned about using diatomaceous earth. Are you suppose to wash of the diatomaceous dust everyday? I've also been thinking of getting some chickens (for the eggs) but since I am surrounded by neighbors I don't know if the noise will make them angry. Also I have just started trying to get information on city codes that might restrict me from keeping chickens.
No you are not supposed to wash the dust every day, I had drip irrigation in Oregon and here in Oklahoma I use a sprinkler. There are sprays you can make at home with garlic, cyan, and a tiny bit of dish soap with water...most bugs hate it..

Thanks. That makes sense. I just found this blog that someone used chili oil in their spray. Thanks for the link.
You are welcome my friend!
