Question: | "We do not wish to cover our bent nursery with manure as it will bring worms and weeds. Could tobacco stems be used instead? Our regular greens are infested with worms. Would the juice from boiled tobacco stems kill worms and be of benefit to the grass?" |
Source of Question: | North Carolina |
Answer/Response: | "We have had no experience with tobacco juice in ridding a green of earthworms. From knowledge gained through other sources we are pretty well convinced, however, that it would not be as efficient or economical as the bichloride treatment." |
