Vegetables do not need deodorant protection.<br /><br />Cut the soap into pieces. Put them in the spray bottle. Add water.<br /><br />Might want to give it a day for the soap to dissolve.<br /><br />Spray the plants.<br /><br />I think your bagging the basil in mesh as you suggested and then spraying nearby plants is a better idea so "collateral damage" is avoided. <br /><br />And always wash vegetables and fruits. One time there were deer in the yard trying to get apples from the tree. They'd eaten all of the low-hanging apples so couldn't quite reach. Kind of like bobbing for apples at Halloween.<br /><br />Mmmm. Deer spit. Yummy.<br /><br />Also, are there different bug-resistant basil? Is basil one of those things that can be planted with whatever it is that insects avoid? (Lemongrass?) For synergistic effect?<br /><br />Good luck, pal.勝美https://www.blogger.com/profile/02046731233287074044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151368824212034335.post-75189392468939656812019-06-21T08:57:17.430-04:002019-06-21T08:57:17.430-04:00Oh my, that's crazy.
