How to deal with problem insects, outdoors?
battlenokstarted grow question 4 years ago
Any tips on dealing with insects in an outdoor bed grow? Invasive caterpillars are a problem in my area, could also be mites or gnats involved. I have praying mantis eggs on the way, and have used insecticide 3 times, conservatively. Any ideas are much appreciated, thanks!

If u can prepare compost tea and use this like a foliage spray
Into soil sprinkle some diatomaceous earth this gonna kill all motherfuckers
U could use as well yellow sticky traps
And kitchen salt around pots is gonna kill slugs
I hope this gonna help
Happy growing

Hey mate,
Get some neem oil. Cover your soil and all your leaves with it. Its organic and isnt too bad for your plants.
You cant mix it with straight water as it's an oil. You'll need to mix water with some soap to get it to mix in.
Heres an a link that will tell you all you need to know about neem oil. You can pick it up from Amazon for pretty cheap

Hope this helps 🙂

What can I do as she definitely has a while to finish I feel? Any estimates on how much longer she has before getting close to chop? See most recent comment for details.5 years ago
