Also, to go along with Jasons concern: when we use these synthetic chemicals
to kill the bad bugs- how exactly does it effect the worm population that is
present? I used an Ortho product that contains Bitrex for the snails slugs,
and other various insects and after I put it around the base of the pumpkin-
I thought what about my lovely worms? Anyone know?
