It's hit or miss; if some of your cabbage worms are already infected with
BT, you'll spread it around to the others, which is good. The commercial
BT wettable powder works well for me. Of course, some of the GM products
out are actively breeding BT resistant bugs, so farmers will have to use
the [unnamed chemical company, without whom profits themselves would be
impossible] products.

But that's just my opinion.

I may be wrong.

Anyone that trusts Monsanto is a fool....

If the only reason to do this is to harvest BT, it'd be less trouble
just to buy it. ;-) I understand it's not expensive.

I've honestly never tried it but I think it's about time I did.
