Didn’t have anything to cover it from pests. Apparently from what I’ve read, I can try to plant a new batch of Bokchoy from seedlings in late summer? Hopefully that works. I’ve also got some tatsois that I’ve been regularly checking for pests morning and night, no row cover, got some few holes but not as much as these. Is it necessary to check everyday for pests or any other day? Thank you for your help in advance
Yeah, I used soap water too, it sort of does the job. Been meaning to buy BT spray but I don’t know how plausible that is until I saw your comment which makess me think I should get one, makes sense to use at night I’ll be keeping that in mind, thank you. Will also definitely get some nets whilst I’m at it.
The thing about a lot of organic pesticides is that they take days to kill the pests, and by then your plant is already mangled. So if you spray reactively instead of proactively you’ll be too late most of the time. Netting is the only sure bet for greens.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense also since you’re not really getting rid of 100% of the pests, the eggs would be left in the nook and cranny of the plant if any 😭 so netting seems to be the go to point here then.
