What rate and method should I be injecting bt in my squash as a preventative?


I was mixing it 1:1 with distilled water and injecting once a week. Probably could dilute more if you wanted to. There’s really no clear instructions on the internet. I’ve seen some people inject at full strength. That’s probably overkill.

Thanks.

Got out in the garden today after getting around 1/16-1/8" of rain. I'd held off watering for 4 days in hopes it would rain. Not too much, so I watered with the hose some more to get it through the weekend while I'm out of town.

Missed the weekly photo dump last week, so here are some from today. Things are still looking good here on the Northshore.

Garden


Bell peppers are starting to form flower buds. Also need to hit with neem oil this evening, something found one of them.


Yellow squash is about to start flowering.


Butternut is about to climb.


Cantaloupe is flowering.


So is eggplant


Tomatoes are doing their thing.



The tomato on the left was a clipped branch from a seedling. The one on the right blew off a table during hardening and broke off 1" from the base... I just left the stub in the pot and it came back nicely! Need to transplant it.


Watermelon is finally joining the party.


Beans are starting to bridge the top of the trellis.


On the other side of the trellis, the cucumbers are starting to climb. They better hurry before the beans secure their real estate.


Herbs, et al
