Re: bT for Potato Beetles

[Peter Michael Bacchus]

Has anyone tried spraying 500 more often or perhaps a sequential spray
emphasising the 500?

 It's not just me, folks, the whole county is being over run with
 pests due to the very light winter we had.

bT for Potato Beetles

Anyone know the poop on Johnny's potato bt? I understand that it is 
not GMO, but Shep Ogden had to laugh at the thought that it really 
wasn't.

Anyone use it?

Thanks

I must agree - I have more pests so far this year than I've had in the past 
4-5 years.  I'll be making potato beetle pepper tomorrow morning, and slug 
pepper as well.  The house will be filled with the decidedly not-yummy 
aroma of cooking carcasses.  We'll see what happens.  The slug pepper will 
go in the bottom well of the broadcaster, the potato beetle in the upper 
well (maybe some in the bottom well, as well?).  I had great success with 
slug pepper 4 years ago.
