To add to your language difficulties, ken, you need Bt. var San Diego for potato beetle control. There are many different strains of Bt that target individual plant pests- Tim is probably using Bt. var kurstaki which is the most effective strain against cabbage white caterpillars.

Bacillus thuringienesis

We had it last year, but are we never to have it again?? Can't find it anywhere.

S'pose that means it was a 'whoops, sorry' introduction?

Pity - it was SO effective.
