Re: owl: D.I.Y. Non-chemical Pest Controller
Well, chilli plants especially the bird's eye ones have the sweetest young shoot. My late grandma in-law use to make a simple vegetable dish with them, and they are sweet & delicious!
I also notice that mealies go for plants with sweet leaves, another victim at my place is this egyptian vegetable that's known as muluqi'a (melokia). Everytime we grown them, within weeks they are attacked!
Another casualty is my hibiscus! It's always a battle to see who get's there 1st, the bugs or me with my 'neem' oil!
