I went organic for the first time in spring '07 and had a horrible time with caterpillars destroying my tomatoes and most everything else I planted. This year I used Organicide and it helped. I still had some caterpillars but nothing as bad as last year. I had aphids on my ficus trees but they never bothered my vegetables. It smells bad as it contains fish oils, but it seems worth it.

Hi I know what your going through, all the things your doing are great and will repel some of those bugs but as an additive try dish soap and water, hot pepper spray,lady bugs or preying mantist work well. Try them all and see what works best. Don't spray with any of the above if you use the lady bugs or preying mantist. Switch them up tho so the bugs don't build up immunity to one spray. Take a trip to the library it's filled with tons of books on all types of garedning and it's free. Check out Jerry Bakers books on gardening.

Stereo you are too dang funny!! ROFLMBO!!
I googled your slogan "got mulch" cause I love it you could make stickers for all our wheelbarrows (wheelbarrels)
this is what I found lol think you'll laugh....however I was thinking that it would be a good slogan for GG for a wheelbarrel sticker...not lawn care..
