Tent City

This morning my neighbors sprayed their trees for winter moth.  The spray is "non-toxic," so says the company and some mild Internet research.  It's water-soluble as well.  But...it's bug spray, and the tree hovers right over my vegetable patch (which the winter moths could care less about), from whence comes tonight's salad. 

Last year I got on a list the company maintains to be notified before the spray went on, and I was super-impressed that they actually followed up and called to let me know it was coming.

So last night, this happened:

And this morning, when the spray rained down and floated across my backyard in a white cloud, wow was I glad I did it.  Another hour or so and the stuff should be dry, so Operation Rescue My Sweltering, Tented Plants will go into effect.

non toxique, mais ce que j'ai trouvé est que les ingrédients sont très dangereux. Heureusement, il existe quelques insecticides sûrs là-bas. Assurez-vous que le produit est sûr pour la nourriture. Je ne voudrais pas le vaporiser sur mes plantes, sauf si je pouvais avaler en toute sécurité

Wow, you really have to watch out for some of these sprays. There are a lot of companies claiming - non toxic, but what i have found is that the ingredients are very unsafe. Fortunately, there are a few safe insecticides out there. Just make sure that the product is safe for food. I wouldn't spray it on my plants unless I could swallow it safely.
