Grasshoppers
Ok so last year my bananas got messed up pretty good from grasshopers eating the leaves. I don't have a means to wipe out every grasshopper in my area like a lot of people seem to be suggesting. Is there any common sense way to protect my plants from these jerks? maybe sevendust or neemoil?
Thanks!

Re: Grasshoppers
I don't have a problem with grasshoppers, but if growing Banana's to eat you may what to watch what you use on the plants. I have used the water hose to blast bugs off of plants.
