Question
will cayanne pepper powdwer work on keeping the green bean bugs off the plants
Answer
Dear Dana:
Cayenne pepper is an effective organic deterrent for bugs on your green beans.
Here's the recipe:
Red Pepper spray for insect control
2 TBSP Red pepper (i.e. Cayenne
pepper from spice section)
6 drops of dishwashing liquid
1 gallon warm water
Mix thoroughly and pour into spray bottle for application. Suggest twice weekly or more depending on your particular infestation.
Regards,
