Japanese beetles on basil

Aug 03, 2009 3 Replies

Is it legal for them to attack my basil? This is ridiculous. Last year it was the pole beans. Today, the basil. Don't give me any of that BS about picking them off by hand. There are hundreds of them. Other than Ortho, anyone have a cool solution?


Wonder if they are edible.

How much basil... for a couple three plants draping with fine netting for a few days until the bugs cycle is over will work.... buy a package of woodworkers tack cloth (looks like cheese cloth) from Lowe's for like $6.
