However, it's also good to know the "foe". Some critters can strip a plant in minutes. I'd guess you have slugs or snails, very nasty in the wrong place: Carefully check the plants early in the morning for the invaders or their trails and deal with them as you feel necessary. Care for some escargot? Check under any debris and even better remove them Spread wood ashes around the stem (but not touching them) which also adds potassium Diatomaceous earth is even more effective Hey, they're bugs you can outsmart them, especially when they're stoned.
To Keep Pest At Bay Plant Marigolds around the bottom of each plant. Also, take about 25 marigold flower heads and put in blender with one quart of water. Strain and pour into spray bottle, spray plants every other day. All natural using no petroleum products or residue to coat trichromes. This works on all plants. Pepper sauce is volatile and will damage trichormes it also has vinegar in it and vinegar is astringent and will strip vital oils in the leaf, oil which produce thc. Diatomaceous earth is great but has to be replaced every day as moisture/dew/water destroys it. To get rid of snails/slug. Place a low dish of beer close to/in your garden. Remove and replace every other day. To cut down on grasshoppers plant next to chicken coop. Keep plants away from butterflys or vise versa. Caterpillers/insects leave poop behind and damage quality of product, not to mention the destruction they cause. They can wipe out a plant a day. Butterflys dont care much for Marigolds so they dont usually lay their eggs on/around them. Feed the birds, bring them to your plants, have a feeder close by. Birds love insects and can help keep a garden pest free. Ladybugs are good too. Just some helpful hints. Happy Growing sh
