hahahahaha now you know why KAMINO smells so bad buddy, its fermented plant matter and that shit stinks good and hard. Cant say i have noticed bell peppers being bug attractors, may be planting some pythium based plants alongside will help, Daisies and Marigolds etc. Those grasshoopers are wankers man, we get them here, massive ones like small birds, eat you whole plant, well they might eat mine but they will never eat again :)
I find adding beauvaria helps, and BTi-K. Birds help reduce the numbers of grasshoppers. i found blackbirds eating them here. Bird boxes might help you too. Trouble those hopers fly about so can come in like locusts on bad days here.
that sucks,,ya got pepermint plants in all boxes,and rosemary too,,but there are some plants that dont jive with them,,hadnt planted my marigolds yet,,i want to line them along the fence,mainly for color,,after the rain yesterday i did notice a bees working the garden,,wish more would come on around,,that little mix i made got ride the potato bugs for now,,we have had 2 days of rain and them boxes a drenched threw and threw,and these plants have grown to were they should be in 2 days,,went out friday and put 20 more cucmbers in the ground and they are all up,well 2 hadnt snuck out to the sun yet,planted more purple hulls about 15 ,there all up,,good thing about the pepers is all the damage is done ,but new leaves are rocking,im gonna wait till they get about 12 to 14 in and topp them for bushy plants,,as hard a time im having with these things,gonna do a couple containers were i can get ajump on next year,and maybe this year also,,,thinking about end of july planting some sweet corn see how they roll,,be the hottest part of summer and by the time they get about 3 to 4 ft tall the night air will be at least in mid 70,,trouble brezze showed some pic of sugar snaps yesterday,and im going to get them going to,they love heat,,would sure like to start some fruit trees and pecan trees,but dont know how well they do in this rocky soil and the evil deer lmao
