Throwing two small kids in carseats and driving across town with plant pieces in hand in a mad rush to get back for preschool seems like a recipe for disaster - but so is my garden, so I think I'll make that trek next week. In the meantime I might try to douse mine with the milk mixture since I don't think it can hurt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks all!!Kate and Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342619603185671644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563051087162389665.post-51860838623875168862008-10-23T01:11:00.000-04:002008-10-23T01:11:00.000-04:00I had bad PM on my cukes this year, and the cukes ...I had bad PM on my cukes this year, and the cukes kept growing regardless.

I would do a google search on it, and there will be tons of pages on it. The diluted milk mixture is supposed to help alot. Try it out, it might work great for you. About the BT....it works excellent on all leaf chewing worms, but that is all.....and is completely organic.
