@FISH I couldn't get an answer regarding chili powder because I couldn't find any bugs to talk to. But one of my tomato plants told me that regular black peppercorns dug into the soil at planting time is a regular tonic against certain bacterial infections and insect pests. Yes, monitors can also communicate with plant life.
MONITOR 49. About 3 years ago, the TENT caterpillars destroyed all my hop plants. I would tie hop twine from the second floor window. By mid July the vines would reach the second floor. The TENT caterpillars broke my heart. The caterpillars built their white tents all over my hops. I cursed those insects. Like an Irish style of cursing. We had words! I don't use foul language. Hence, my OH BOY statements. I am going to have a talk with the insects tonight, maybe we could start over.
