Let me just say first that I a total newbie at veggie gardening. Only started it this year over worries about pesticides in food. I am already getting a lot of tomatoes this year. I am not using any kind of insecticide so far. Starting tomorrow, I am going to spray the plants with a homemade cayenne pepper, garlic and soap spray. These tomatoes are from a "Patio" plant species, less than 3 inches in size. The holes on these tomatoes don't go very deep it seems. I know I could just wait til it ripens and cut it open to look.
Really want to ask about this----
I am supposed to put an "oil based" soap in the spray? Any ideas about this? Maybe bathsoap that says it moisturizes?
