I used to hand pick the horned works and toss them in a bucket of soapy water, then a friend asked if I was willing to throw them in a bucket for him to pick up. He feeds them to his reptiles. He even comes over with a black light to scour my garden after dark.
I remember the first time I got a hornworm on one of my tomato plants. I had never even seen one before.. It blended in so well but it was so so fat. Eating well... I put on my best gloves to pluck that chub off and that thing clung to that stem for dear life. I was thoroughly grossed out and afraid it would stab me with its horn lol 😂 Not afraid anymore but still won't touch one bare-handed that is for sure😅
Absolutely astounding content i never ever kill anyrhing at all if i Absolutely have exhausted all my options. No matter what it is. If its alive i mever kill it. Never. Im 31 and i havent killed anything knowingly and continously. Everything has a purpose. Get a bearded dragon to eat them i did lol and hes an amazing addition to our family. They get along with dogs and cats and love you just as much 😊❤

I use blk light
do the marigolds and basil actually deter the hornworms, or are they sacrificial plants that will draw the pests away from the tomato plants?
Sacrificial plants
Using bt, like any pesticide, you'll end up with pesticide resistant bugs. 😢
