Wished I lived closer! Any chance you have a dye recipe for wool using goldenseal? Wondering if I should use alum mordant and a afterbath with vinegar in it? I’ve done some natural dying but unable to find much about goldenseal. Many thanks

DeAnna, The insects in the Garden are always a struggle. Have you tried crop rotation? Or letting the Garden rest for a year and then trying again? I’m not sure if there is a cure. Good Luck & keep at it! ~Jonah

The last two years that I have had a garden those things have literaly taken over my tomatoes, and then moved on to my corn, watermelon, and zuchinni that I had planted near the tomatoes. I have decided NOT to do a garden this year just because of these nasty things! It’s upsetting that I have not been able to find any type of “cure” for getting rid of these things! If you have any ideas, please let me know, if you need my email please let me know! Thanks!
