Something is eating my Basil and it's not me!?

Question:What can I spray on it to keep the bugs away and still eat the Basil.

Answers:
You can find many organic pesticides that will take care of your problem. Before you run off to the garden store, try to mix some dish washing liquid such as Dawn in a sprayer bottle with warm water. i.e. - one cap/squirt of Dawn to one full-size handheld sprayer bottle. Spray this on the plants and see if it will deter the pests. This should not affect taste or consumability of the basil. Just make sure you wash well prior to using.
