     TIM, MANY, IF NOT ALL, MODERN ORGANIC GARDENERS HAVE ABANDONED
PYRETHRUM.
(1) IT CAN BE TOXIC.
(2) IT'S INDISCRIMINENT. IT DOESN'T KNOW THE "PESTS" FROM THE "BENEFICIALS".
YOU LOSE THE BIODIVERSITY, ALONG WITH THE BATTLE.

MY ADVICE? LOOK INTO A SCIENTIFIC ORGANIC GARDENING PROGRAM. EMAIL ME

GOOD GARDENING!
