Hi Charles
Just looking into bacillus thuringiensis for next year as brassicas got mauled this year! Just wondered how often you spray? Seems crazy to buy 24g, when 500g is only 3 1/2 times the price (but at the same time £38 is quite a big outlay for my small plot!).
Thanks
Rich
Yes it’s a pity somebody does not sell say 100g.
I spray av. 6 times a year, every 16-20 days.
A guy on my open day reckons his still works, ten years after he bought it.
Many thanks! Perhaps I’ll see if anyone locally wants to go halves on the purchase!
Thanks again
Rich
