there are "green" gardening supply stores around town
I... was thinking more along the lines of spray bottle + warm water + hot pepper flakes. :D "Cheap" is my operative word when trying new approaches, heh. I actually will be trying this next year on my tomatoes, because the squirrels have helped themselves this year and killed a lot of green ones, which makes me rather angry at the fuzzy little vermin.
I'm glad to hear, at least, that the Ortho stuff has done a decent job so far! And yes, it would be unkind to spray the mulberry at that stage. (I wish I had a mulberry tree! Luckily, there's one in my neighbourhood along the walking path. Year before last, I really racked up a lot of mulberries; this year I missed the fruiting season.)
