Baby Powder!

[hic]

My grandmother grows a great garden every year. For the past 2 decades she has used baby powder to keep deer and BUGS off of her plants, Give it a try..Give out a shout if it worked or did not work... I vouch for my grandma anyway instead of being a moron and spending more than $20 to keep bugs of your plants spend $5 and use the savings to buy a pipe, to smoke the plants you saved from the bugs...have a good day

I am also going to try this in my flower garden.. I get these awful little yellow mites on my milk weed (Florida) Trying to raise Monarch's not the mites... I don't want anything that will kill the monarch caterpiller eggs but do want the other hosts gone!

I heard that baby powders now days are mostly corn starch, because of fears that the original talc (hydrated magnesium silicate) causes both ovarian and lung cancers. You may have to look for "talcum powder" specifically to do what grandma did for 2 decades. It sounds like a great thing to try though.
