  1. How do you store your leftover pesticides over winter? I have a garden shed, but am always concerned about condensation when temps in the shed go from hot to cold. I'm running out of climate controlled space inside the house.

  2. I have heard a lot about BT. I will have to add it to my Arsenal. It's pretty gruesome how you explain it working. Lol!! But if it works. Sure beats hand picking every night.

  3. Thanks for that! I sure do love my BT, I couldn’t imagine trying to grow anything in the cabbage family without it! I have never seen Sluggo Plus or equivalent here I will look out for it, my wife always seems to hustle me away from the plant products section, I can spend ages looking at that kind of stuff, she says. By the way thank you for the Japanese beetle video! They started to show up in my garden a few days after you put up the video, I’m using your soapy water method to good affect! Fortunately they seem to favour my grape vine so are easy to find!

  4. My daughter is now into ducks and we have two. Word around the homesteading community is that they are voracious slug hunters and do not dig up gardens like chickens. I used BT last year on your advice and it really does work!

  5. Great Great video very informational. My questions my corn plants are about 8 inches in height I have notice some of the bottom leaves are chewed up should I apply the Sluggo Plus?

  6. Sluggo plus is not sold here in Canada because spinosad is found to kill honey bees and other pollinators. Does anyone know a good alternative?

  7. As a novice gardener, I appreciate some of your good info. One concern at 10:36: "Spinosad," which is the extra ingredient in Sluggo Plus, is toxic to bees and some other insect predators, so I'd likely suggest staying away from Sluggo Plus or from any product with Spinosad because of that.

  8. I agree about the pill bugs. I harvested my potatoes, grown Ruth Stout style, and lots were nibbled on from the incredible pill bug population. There was plenty of rotting hay, but they still moved in on my potatoes. So next year, i will consider it.
    I also grew bush bean near them and they were inialated by slugs. So… I'll be getting the slugo next season.
