Question How do I get the inch worms out of my garden without using poison?

Answer Hi Emma, So you have an inchworm problem? Since you don't say what plants are infested I will give you the broad answer. Bt (Bacillus Thuringiensis) is a product used by organic growers to stop worms of all sorts from destroying crops. It doesn’t hurt humans or animals. It makes the worm stop eating so they die from starvation. Many nurseries will have Bt. You usually spray it on. Happy Growing! Hoot
