Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question I have two pots of basil on my porch (screened in 3rd floor balcony). This is the 4th year I've done it and never had any problems--other than what to do with so much! Suddenly, tiny flying bugs are chowing down on them! One pot is much worse than the other. The bugs are not on any of my other plants (jade, Christmas cactus, Hawaiian Ti). I've attempted a photo. I have just sprayed both pots down with a mild soap solution. Any ideas for me and my basil buddies?
Answer Rosemary:
I have a home made spray that I use sometime. 1 qt. of water,1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of mild soap to make it stick. Use on 1 branch and check it often for burning. If so, dilute and try again. Do this every 3 days. Good luck!!
