guess my question is: would this be a good general purpose insecticide
for use in my vegetable garden?

Sevin is good, but don't use it when there are any bees around --
and I mean ANY bees. (Sevin gets on a few worker bees and it will
kill the whole hive)

I like ladybugs better, you can put a floating row cover over the plants
and add a pint of lady bugs - no more insects. After 3 or 4 days you can
pull the cover and the lady bugs will spread out looking for more pests.
Put a ladybug house out in the early fall and they will overwinter in it.

An excellent solution :O)
