Bonide Captain Jack Flower & Veg Garden Dust 1.5 lb.
Protecting your backyard vegetable patch or prized perennial beds from destructive pests shouldn't mean introducing harsh, synthetic chemicals to your home garden. Here at Kent Countryside, we highly recommend Bonide® Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew® Garden Dust as an essential, organic-approved line of defense for Hudson Valley growers.
The secret to Captain Jack's effectiveness is Spinosad, a naturally occurring soil bacterium that targets leaf-eating pests while leaving the surrounding environment safe. Packaged in a convenient, ready-to-use shaker bottle, this formula makes it incredibly easy to apply precise, targeted protection exactly where chewing insects are causing damage.

Pro-Tips from Kent Countryside Nursery:
Protect Our Local Pollinators: While Spinosad is very safe for beneficial insects once it settles, it can be harmful to bees if they come into direct contact with the active dust. Always apply this product in the early morning or late evening when honeybees and pollinators are not actively foraging in your garden.
Get Under the Canopy: Many of our most frustrating local pests—like thrips, leafminers, and spider mites—love to hide and feed on the undersides of foliage. When shaking the dust, gently lift the branches to ensure you get complete coverage on both the tops and bottoms of the leaves.
Perfect for Vegetable Gardeners: This formula can be used on a massive variety of edible crops right here in Carmel, including tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and leafy greens. Be sure to check the label for the specific "Pre-Harvest Interval" (the short window of days you need to wait between dusting and picking your harvest).
