I got green worms on my plant, what can I use to get them off?

Now that the garden is up and growing, everything is looking good.  That is until you see a leaf missing here or a stalk cut down there.  Upon closer inspection, there are these little green worms that are crawling up and down your plants, making holes in the leaf or cutting it off completely.  Luckily, there are things you can use the rid your garden of them.

Dusting your plants with a product called Dipel Dust will work on worms.  Dipel Dust is an organic biological product that controls worms like cabbage loopers, webworms, cutworms, hormworms and cabbage worms.  Just spread the dust on your plants and let it work for you.  Application can be at a rate of around 2 ounces per 50 ft row.  After injesting the dust, worms will stop feeding within a few hours.  And the best thing about it is there's no wait time between application and harvest.

So if you are having problems with worms, this product should help you get the pests under control.

My quote of the week comes from Rotarian.  It reads "If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about this time last year."
