Re: Herbs to kill catepillars eating my garden?

Ha ha! Yay froggies indeed!

So, two nights ago I was puting together the ingredients for the lower bowel balance and realized that the rasperry leaf needed extra chopping and I had already mixed it into the rest of the herbs. So little by little I chopped it up in the coffee grinder, which sent a few clouds of LBB dust up into the air that had my dad sneezing in the other room. Unfortunately, my mom got a whif too and her bladder, which is badly damaged, was sent into searing pain that she said she hasn't felt in years. She slept with ice packs on her bladder and took some kind of bladder pain killer (azo) which she only resorts to when it gets really bad. Anyways, I mention all of this to say that I don't think a garlic/cayenne spray for the plants that mom is gonna eat is gonna work unfortunately. But if it were mine alone I would have already done it.

Oh well. It's a great suggestion-- one that I will use when I've got my own garden.

And now we know that the LBB is not something that my mom could tollerate in the most miniscule amounts. I've stopped encouraging her to try cayenne.... But we are drinking lots of marshmalllow root and slippery elm.

Love to you!
