Thanks go to for the hornworm ID video that she posted in the comments of another post. In that vid, it showed tiny โgrenadesโ that were actually hornworm poop ๐ ๐ฉ and then how to seek and destroy! So, armed w that useful information, guess who found evidence of dinosaur-sized hornworms AND their eggs in her basil and tomatoes and peppers on this otherwise nice morning?! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ค๐คฌ No hornworms, mind you โ just their poop, and poppy-seed sized eggs ๐ฅ๐ฅ.
So, what am I gonna do?! Well, Iโm not just gonna come on here and just whine and complain. Nope! Tonight, Iโm gonna hit โem with my best shots:
๐ฅmy new leaf spray that I made with homegrown lactic acid bacteria (LAB),
๐ฅIโm gonna drench the soil with some ๐ชฑ๐ฉ worm casting extract,
๐ฅand if Iโm feeling extra spicy, Iโll follow up with some BT spray for extra protection.
