all the herbs and THE herb are looking wonderful :) killer pepper list too. I need to add to my herb garden. I've got oregano, sage, rosemary (my fave) and thyme. The thyme will be great in a pest spray ...no bugs at all on her - ever.
Thank you! I sure do love my peppers :) had a noodle bowl the other night with quite a bit of crushed habanero, almost melted my face off! For herbs I have lavender, chamomile, thyme, oregano, sage, and lemon grass. And good to know about the thyme!

I blended up a couple gallons of hot peppers last fall. Going to try adding them to my tobacco and soap spray to see if helps keep bugs off the plants. I know it will work with bigger critters. But I'll go ahead and pick up some Thyme seeds too.

Was watching Bubbleman episode on youtube in Jamaica and one of the local growers has a huge neem tree right in the middle of his field of trees. He said he has no issues with bugs. He just scatters the neem tree leaves all over the field
The place is aust is gonna get back to me and let me know if they are allowed to send junior neem trees over the border

Quick question:
Can I mix together Eagle 20 and AVID (abamectin) and spray my plants with them at the same time?

I've done this before but I don't remember how the plants reacted, it's been quite some time.

Also, when using products like AVID, what do you guys use for an emulsifier besides dish soap? I've been using Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap, but the instructions on my AVID says that I should use a horticultural oil, and after all these years of using AVID, I still don't know exactly what that is. Neem? Conola? Something totally different?

Thanks guys.

Also, I know you all are going to tell me to go with something organic, and please fire away suggestions. Lately I've been using Nuke'Em and M-Pede. I remember Nuggs gave me a great recipe, and I think I have that saved somewhere.

Good, I have a bunch from RAW. I was using it with every spray, but I stopped because someone told me it negates a lot of nutrient in a foliar feed. So I'll keep using it with my pesticides.

I mixed neem cake pellets into my soil mix last August and I have seen a drop in pests. Soil is very much alive with bugs and life in general, but nothing fucking with my plants, and I have a mix of everything all lumped together
