🚨 Tomato Growers, Beware! 🍅🐛

If you’re growing tomatoes, you need to see this! The dreaded hornworm can devour your plants in just a few days. 😱 Their green color makes them easy to miss, so stay alert!

Here’s how to stop them in their tracks:

✅ Handpick them: Chickens love them, or use them as fish bait! 🐓🎣
✅ Cover your plants: If you see the moth, use mesh/tulle to keep eggs off your plants.
✅ Apply BT: Bacillus Thuringiensis is a natural pesticide—I use the ready-to-spray version from @bonideproducts.

✨ BONUS TIP: Companion plant tomatoes with basil and marigolds to help deter pests!
