Rustin, if you are still having problems with bugs munching on Basil’s tender leaves, I would recommend some garlic/pepper spray:

1 garlic bulb
1 quart of water
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon liquid dish soap (lemon)

Crush the garlic, mincing it fine. Add finely chopped onion to the mixture, while adding the rest of the ingredients except the soap. Wait an hour before adding the soap to the mixture. The spicy ingredients must sort of stew or steep, almost like tea. After an hour, add the soap and your non-toxic spray is ready to use! This can be stored in the fridge for a week.

i read in a gardening magazine if you put powdered milk around your plants bugs wont eat them because they dont like the sweet taste. check it out the world wide web for more accurate info
