    Those are beautiful! Bugs can be frustrating! I sprayed mine with BT. That worked well. I am pretty sure it was a squirrel, but a critter ate mine to the ground. The squirrels also ate my broccoli. I did not realize that squirrels liked eating brassica plants.

    Hey Tara, looks great! This was my first year and I planted my kale too early but mother nature kicked in and provided tons of pups on all my plants that I was able to remove and use in my mason jar bouquets.

  • @pammcnary2770
    @pammcnary2770 5 днів тому

    The kale looks great, kudos to you for sharing the results. For caterpillar damage I’m going to try BT spray (google Ferti Lome Caterpillar killer with BT). I got the 16 oz bottle that mixes 4 tbsp / gallon to spray on leaves, so 16oz should last a while. I think it also works on the nat fly larvae that plague my seedlings in my seed starting area in the basement. BT is the same active ingredient in mosquito dunks. It’s OMRI approved so it’s not supposed to be toxic. OK for animals, worms etc. If it’s good enough for Charles Dowding (of no dig fame) then it is good enough for me.

    I have to do a lot of netting to keep out pests. What I use is either cement mesh, which I bend or I think they’re called cement ladders, which I uses hoops. I then get Tulle netting from Walmart and use clothespins to connect to the hoops or metal trellis and anchor it to ground using 4’ lengths of rebar along the sides so the bottom is all closed up. I reuse the material several times. I will try to post a photo in here if I can.

    • @wildbirdfarm

      Possibly with gravel on the bottom of a flat container? I think you need space for the roots. And you’ll need to change the water often which the prick trays make very easy.
