Thanks for the thumbs up @papa-pepper. You could use those sadly damaged tobacco leaves to make tobacco water ( organic pest control) its a good way to use up your cigarette butts if you are a smoker too.
Side note - when your tobacco hornworms eat tobacco leaves it causes them to give off chemical alerts in the scent of their saliva which is said to draw the predators that eat them so hey call the tobacco police on themselves so to speak..... not before they do a lot of damage though.... maybe let your chickens walk around he garden for a few hours a day, they are the most efficient at bug control and they do less damage than people think unless you have tender new lettuce plants, those they could eat quickly but overall they do an amazing job at removing the pests that drive gardeners mad! Happy homesteading!💚🌴🌈🦋💛
