I have tomatoe issues.

Question

Is there a natural or home remedy to keep bugs and pests off of my tomatoes? I only have one plant and i think it's getting too much water and shade because it will not produce but the plant itself is looking really good. There are also nibble marks on the leaves. I would rather not used chems because my weiner dogs eats everything.

Answer 1

water with some dish soap, wont kill plants birds,dogs,only pests,adn wont hurt dog or birds if contact with the soap,, also can use cinnamon, or talc, different detterants,, i know cayenne pepper keeps squirrels at bay, and wont come if they are eating them,, for slugs or worms, use a small butter lid or coffe lid, and pour beer in it, slugs go in and dont come out,, shouldnt harm dog or birds , very small amouts used,, they drown and everyone is happy , and no harsh chemicals to spoil the environment.

Answer 2

Plant fresh basil next to the plant.  Also if you live near deer,  Hang a few bars of Irish Spring bath soap in old panty hose near-by.
