Help bugs eating my plants. Need advice on organic solutions please.

Can't quite tell from the photos. What sort of area are you in? I see you are outside, but are you in a forest, field, backyard... Sometimes it can be impossible to keep insects off a plant if the plant is surrounded by other plants that are attracting insects.

I am out in the country. Yes we have quite a few oak trees around the property but that’s about it.

First that organic mulch attracts pests (get rid of it), whats under it? Second identify the pest.
Grasshoppers, good luck, get chickens or guineas to eat them and give you eggs. Also good bait for fishing.
Praying mantis, ladybugs etc. to control many other pests.

Used sugar cane mulch once, worst idea ever, could not get rid of the ants and then got bad scale infestations.

Try using lost Coast plant therapy it's made with peppermint oil,bugs don't like it and it's organic, Google it, it's good stuff

If you going to use a foliar spray test on a couple of leaves first and if you can apply it at dusk just before it gets dark so as less chance of damaging leaves.

I see in one of the picture there it is definitely a grasshopper, so that's probably making at least some of the damage, if not all of it.

I don't grow outdoor, but I asked my dad who is an outdoor grower. He said that the secret to getting rid of grasshoppers is to keep the grass mowed short (they live in the grass and also eat it) and to use "Sevin" insect spray. (https://www.amazon.com/Sevin-GardenT.../dp/B077L6SKJ5)

He said NEVER get Sevin on buds, but you can use it on vegetative plants. And he also said to make sure to let it dry before letting any pets near it. He said when he used it he found dead grasshoppers all over the place. It seems like strong stuff.

i've used the sevin spray on other plants and it works like a charm. i don't recommend smoking it or getting it on or in you

[RoswellRidge]

Ok so I did end up using the Sevin spray. Used the first time today. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the recommendation

[RoswellRidge]

Thank you for all the tips. Ended up getting captain jacks neem oil spray. Will post how it worked

I don't use it. It makes the weed taste nasty.

Dont use that on your buds!
