I'm a firstyear, and I've realized that 4 BigMax plants in a 10ft by 20 ft. enclosure is too much plant in too little space. Anyways, I have one 7-day old pumpkin the size of a really big grapefruit, and lots of green caterpillars that laugh at Sevin spray. I've resorted to smashing the little buggers by hand, which makes me a little queasy. Any suggestions? allthumbs

I have been using ortho max and have been getting good results.You just put on the end of the hose and spray.Make sure you follow the directions.Good luck in fla.you have a lot of insects there and no freezing temps in the winter to kill them off.Dont give up.you can beat them
