Thanks for the invite Marie , sorry it took me so long to get here.
This is a great topic and I think we can all learn something from each other.

In NY, bugs don’t bother my herbs.

My squash & cabbage on the other hand… Constant battle!

My broccoli was completely devoured last year, I mixed asparagus and cabbage the whole lot was eaten by caterpillars

I bought row cover last year. Actually got some zucchini’s and 2 cabbages with few holes. Was $19 on Amazon, well worth it and reusable! Just have to remove it once zucchini is flowering.

I'll get hold of this before planting I also need too get the soil improved in my raised bed.

Here is a useful clip. Maybe it could be used outside for our chickens as well as in the home

Hello Igor

Gosh that's an interesting article . My mother swore that eating grapefruit helped her lose weight, she would eat it before her meals

Hi Marie. I’m not one to believe something works miracles for all kinds of stuff. However I did remember reading a long time ago that a lot commercially available vegetable wash is just GSE and water. That’s easy enough. Please take the rest of the article with a grain of salt.

It’s like ACV on BYC, or colloidal silver in some cases. It works for a thing or two and has benefits, but people then tout it as a miracle cure and think it’s ok to use it for anything and everything and that’s not the case. I don’t use GSE for anything but washing produce.

I have to look up GSE that's a new one on me we have so many different ways of pronouncing our names and descriptions of a lot of things, considering we are supposed too be speaking the same language
