Does anybody know of a natural way to keep Tomato hornworms away? They are starting to invade my garden. I big fat one at an entire jalapeno plant in my garden last night, including all the jalapenos!! He's got some spicy tastes!! I don't want them to destroy my whole garden!

You can handpick tomato hornworms and drop them into a bucket of soapy water. If they persist, try releasing beneficial trichogamma wasps. They're no threat to you or your pets, but they do kill over 200 species of caterpillars including the tomato hornworm.
