Armed with a garlic/chili powder soap spray & a fish emulsion spray, I went into the garden ready for some serious pest prevention. The plan of attack is to stink the bugs out of our garden. Due to windy conditions while spraying, I also smell like garlic fish now.
I have noticed small yellow egg sacks on the underside of my cabbage leaves and evidence of leaf miners and other mystery bugs on leaves in the garden. The yellow eggs could not be knocked off and almost seemed superglued to the leaves. I gave them a good stinky soap spray and was unsure if I should just destroy the leaves. I did pick and destroy the leaves that looked like they had been affected by leaf miners.
I have been borrowing several books from the library to help with pests but I am still in search of the best bug book with great pictures. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
