Adding shade might help, but if it is not good enough then there is another option that I came across, but it would require you to start over. Having pests is normally not good to have in a greenhouse, and garden. There are bugs that are fine to have, but many are not fine to have on plants, or anything else that grows. Your plants should have been treated, but instead are being eaten. There are ways to deal with this problem before it happens. I suggest not using dish soap. You could try mixing water with Cayenne pepper. There are other options to use as a pesticide if mixing water with Cayenne pepper does not work. I found the below information on the internet. "Almost all caterpillars feed on plants and most plant-feeding caterpillars feed on leaves, which are the most abundant and accessible part of the plant."

Thank you, we failed to mention one thing lol we did use cayenne pepper in it as well . But this was after the fact, so we’ll see. So far we haven’t seen any others 🤞 we will definitely be pro active from here on out instead of reactive.

All u got to do is put a stick against the stalk they circle the base of the plant before the eat it when they find the dead stick they move on and won't damage ur tomatoes my grandpa taught me this 25 years ago and I have never had this problem since so just put a little stick against the stalk when u plant and problem solved 100 percent works

Yikes. You've got hornworms, because you've got a ridiculous number of unkempt tomato plants in one area. Keep your plants pruned, spread them out, and put in some companion plants, and hornworms won't be nearly as big an issue. On another note, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that plant! Why would you remove a perfectly healthy and resilient plant just because you found a couple hornworms on it? Especially when you can just prune the branches they gnawed off without hurting the rest of it.

Pests only attack plants they deem as edible, which are plants with lower Brix. Brix is the sugar content that plants make and the healthier the plant the more sugars are produced. Also silicate and chitosan will make plants a lot less desirable and harder to eat. Cleaning up the lower section of unhealthy leaves will also reduce the amount of pests that can populate.

Keep going, friend! I quit my 8-5 office job last August to pursue my own things, and dig myself out of the bad mental state that job gave me. It's amazing I don't remember feeling that hopelessness and despair at all in the months I was unemployed but I felt it every single day while employed. I got my house organized more, started an amazing garden, really just enjoyed living. I wasn't able to get anything going this time around and ran out of savings so just started another 8-5 office job this week. I already know this is not the path for me. The motivation is strong to get my own stuff going again but I just keep getting stuck. I'm chasing the money and ideas that I think will be money instead of things that I naturally enjoy doing. So I'm trying to figure it out. Main thing is no one can do it but you. Put a little something towards your goal every day. Remind yourself what the goal is every morning. I'm also a firm believer that it shouldn't be so hard though. If you're on the right path you want to be doing the things you need to be doing.

No it's not mites it's like cattle lice it happens in the spring, if you rub them down with diatomaceous earth. The ivormecton is good for worms and other parasites but the diatomaceous earth works best on the skin. And you can use the food grade stuff, It works really good. There hair will start growing back within days
