Any ideas on what's good to get rid of fruit-eating bugs on strawberry and tomato plants?

First you need to figure out what kind of bugs are eating your garden goodies. Unless you want to spray with some kill-everything-with legs pesticide, you'll need to determine what pests you're dealing with. There are many fine organic insect repellants. Try Bt for tomato %26amp; broccoli worms or Colorado potato beetles. Diatomaceous earth also works great for killing a number of hard-shelled insects and is otherwise harmless. Neem is also effective on a variety of bugs. Garlic water keeps earworms off your corn without affecting the flavor. Get a Gardener's Supply catalog, it's informative %26amp; sells lots of organic pesticides %26amp; other good stuff.

Reply:For the strawberries try soapy water. Place soapy water in a spray bottle and spray the plants - not during the heat of the day though.





For the tomato plants - plant merigolds around the tomato's - the bugs don't like the merigold smell. Soapy water as well.
Reply:Buy some Seven at the local hardware or garden store. It cost about 10 bucks for a cannister. Not cheap.
