This just happened to me. All my poor sprouts were ravaged. 😮💨 I used DE and transplanted some flowers and herbs. Got a small greenhouse for seed starts and plan on using a neem/castille spray and beer traps. Clay pots with slug bait is my final line of defense. 😂
Thank you, I'm going to try to save my 4 yr. old rhubarb plants by using DE. It appears pill bugs/rollie pollies have quickly killed off two of my rhubarb plants already & only two plants are left. {{A word of caution, the diatomaceous {DE} earth will absolutely kill bees, butterflies, lady bugs and some other beneficial insects. So when I use DE I'm going to use it sparingly carefully just in the problem area around the base of my plants.}}
Great info! I’m currently using the DE. Everyone told me rollies are good for the garden, but I’m convinced they eat starts
Thanks. They will definitely eat your starts
Just remember the DE kills the good bugs too! It can kill your lady bugs, praying mantis etc! Just something to consider.
Great video. Thanks for the helpful information.
Thanks

They also like to eat hair and nail clippings
I have millions of them. Going to put down diamataceous earth today. They better prepare for war lol.
I would do it all!
De just kills all the bugs tho
