Default Re: Is there any Benefits to putting Baking Soda by Edibles?

I know some people have soils which could benefit from a few grubs living in the ground. But here in the coastal-influenced areas of San Diego county, we have way more than our share of grubs, ants, snails ... the native environment is a haven for them. So to even the score, I put pyrethrin in my irrigation water every 2-3 months. It doesn't kill all the grubs and ants, but it knocks the density way down and the ants as a rule make their nests somewhere other than under my fruit trees. As I've mentioned before, for the snails I use an environment-friendly product that has only iron phosphate as the active ingredient: Sluggo is one example.
