Re: bT for Potato Beetles
Has anyone tried spraying 500 more often or perhaps a sequential spray emphasising the 500? Peter. It's not just me, folks, the whole county is being over run with pests due to the very light winter we had.
japanese beetle help
Robert, a while back ,I'm not sure which issue of Applied Biodynamics there was a formula for a repellant for Japanese beetles using goatsmilk and honey.. I never tried it ,as we stopped having problems with them. I'm not sure why, but I will share an experience with you all. We bought 4 - bag a bug traps , because at that time ,we noticed more and more beetles each year. we hung them around the orchard, we had a deluge of beetles, they stripped the foliage off all the fruit trees ,even ate the tassles off the corn. we kept dumping bags of bugs in a 5 gallon bucket of water with a bit of oil in. it. over the coarse of the next few weeks we had trapped out5 ..5gallon buckets of bugs, they were most stinky, we dug a pit and buryed them. since then we see a few during the season but never a problem. I think we must have trapped most of them in sussex county! Try the goats milk and honey , see if it keeps them off, let everyone know if it works :)sharon - Original Message - From: Robert Farr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2002 8:13 PM Subject: Re: Nettle tea for insect repellant I'm having problems not only with flea beetles but japanese beetles.

Vinegar
Greetings all, Just another note on vinegar here- at the organic garden center I work at, we just opened up a bottle of some of the weed-killer vinegar we carry for employees to try. We tried it on some weeds in the parking lot, some dandelions wild lettuce. Just a few sprays on the plant, some at the leaves, and some at the base. Within 3 hours, the plants were brown and shriveling up; later that day, they were pretty much all dried out. Of course, this is a small test in the beginning phases, so we don't know if they will come back, etc. But so far, it seems to be working. The kind we are using is Bradfield brand, which is 20% vinegar with Yucca root to make it stick. Their website is at: http://www.bradfieldind.com/ I will be trying some on tougher weeds at home, and will let everyone know how that goes, too.

Insect peppers
Well, today I made and installed 3 peppers: slug (bottom well, field broadcaster), adult Colorado potato beetle (upper well, fb), and larvae, Colorado potato beetle (bottom well). The larvae were decimating my lilies, growing up, and relocating to the potatoes. I don't enjoy making peppers, but there's a real insect problem this year, for the first time in 4-5 yrs. We'll see how it goes. 4-5 years ago, when I made a slug pepper, the results were evident within 2 weeks. Stay tuned. Best, Essie
Re: Nettle tea for insect repellant
Dear Allan, From where we are in Australia it is easy to follow the fear throughout America which must tbe having a major effect on the Astral. If someone over there really wanted to test their radionic ability they could always get a satellite photograph of the East coast of the USA and broadcast the Bach flower remedies Aspen and Mimulus to try and counteract the fear campaign being waged by vested interests in your country. I dont know what the US government reaction would be to this, or what they would do to the person who broadcast that energy for terrorising the government that they may lose the edge in the fear campaign. Having said this myheart goes out to you all in Americaduring the times of troubles that you are going through. I saw tonight on the TV news the terrible fires that are sweeping through the Western states, may the gods protect all those that are in the path of these fires.

See web site for details! Hey Chili Man, Back when I started farming I had Japanese beetles too. I bought a few cans of milky spore and seeded it into the turf where I could. Now l hardly see Japanese Beetles, while some folks a few miles away still have plagues of them. It's a long range plan, but pretty sure fire. Milky spore is a fungus that infects the beetle larvae. Once present in the soil the larvae tend to get infected and they die rather than hatch into beetles. This creates more spore and in Japan that's what keeps the beetles in check. There's a few--enough to keep teh fungus alive. But not so many because the balance, once struck, persists. Best, Hugh Visit our website at: www.unionag.org
Deer
I'm renting a small raspberry farm and have noticed a deer on the property. Any ideas for living in harmony with deer? I don't mind feeding them some but I can't afford to give them all my berries.

Re: Insect peppers
Essie - would you mind including a little more 'how to' info on your pepper making? What's your track record like? -Allan
Re: Nettle tea for insect repellant
Just for the record, striped cucumber beetles, from all observations, disappeared from our garden today. Since I never got around to doing much more than thinking about the problem, If someone is responsible for this remediation, please contact me offline and, please, consider doing the same for our Japanese beetle problem which became full blown today. (I caught clusters of as many as 30 beetles in a double hand clap.) Thanks -Allan

Re: Nettle tea for insect repellant
Title: Re: Nettle tea for insect repellant Part II One of the most interesting parts of this post, though James, is that you are picking up in part flea beetles use psychological tactics on the plants they consume. They tell the plants very convincingly a sob story of how if you don't feed my family we will all parish. I have tried my darndest to talk them pray them out of buying that crap. I never thought of the obviousness of your approach. Got a psyco-plex or emostional-plex: send in the flower remedies. Treat the plants not the symptoms.
