Gladiolus dipping question

20 years ago

Hi everyone,

I have a bed of gladiolus flowers in my plot that is in an organic community garden. The glads were ravaged by thrips this year. I've found a good organic pesticide (Bullseye) to use on them, but I'm curious about whether I should try to "dip" the glads in this.

This is my first year having glads, and I've read all about how many people "dip" glads in sevin dust before storage. Does anyone have experience dipping in anything else? If the Bullseye is in a liquid form, how would the dipping work? Anyone with any suggestions, please let me know. I want to try and knock out these thrips before next year.

Thanks!
