I planted several castor bean plant this year in a hope the groundhogs might eat them and go away. Alas, they have just nibbled a little and seem to find them not very tasty. I have ordered a gallon of castor oil over the internet and will incorporate that into my spray program. I think the bad taste my discourage both groundhogs and insects from chewing on my plants. I also have some Safers insecticidal soap on the way as I am attempting to grow as organically as possible this year.I want to keep my soil as healthy as possible and things like imidacloprid seem to be hard on soil microbiology.
