Mike Has An Eggplant Problem...Here's the solution... | Q&A Bloomers in the Garden
In this video, we respond to Mike who is experiencing issues with his eggplant. We discuss how to identify the pests like Colorado Potato Beetles, including how to check for orange egg masses. To tackle this bug problem effectively, we recommend using organic solutions such as spinosad, known for its ability to control these insects without affecting flowering plants. We highlight products like Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew and other spinosad formulations as safe options. Join us as we provide helpful tips and friendly advice to keep Mike's eggplants healthy and thriving!
