Something is eating all the leaves off my tomatoes?


Question:Is there any home remedy besides pesticides to keep these litte buggers off my plants, and should I top off my plants for more produce?

Answers:
It is spelled "Sevin" Dust.

It will help but so will soapy water in a spray bottle. I use a little squirt of Dawn Dish Detergent mixed with water.

If you want more produce, do not cut off the tops, but.
Follow the main stem from the ground up and pinch off the small growth that is coming in between some of the branches. It's difficult to describe but once you check your plants then you will see what I mean.
I did this to my plants just this morning. :))


seven dust
If you don't already you should put a wire fence like thing around the plants* you can buy them @ home depot or stores like that...it is prob. rabbits...our plants were destroyed by rabbits and we put a fence around them and they stopped
Be sure you spray them. You can get seven dust and it will keep the bugs away. Just remember to wash your fruit after you do any spraying with chemicals
sounds like tomato worms. seven dust... the only thing i found to work.

U have to look really really close b/c lay under & near the stems of the plant. they blend in sooooo well. I've had to pull them off w/ tongs & swish them bet newspaper but u may have too many...
