I've just bought Yates tomato dust so that I can at least save some of 
my tomatoes from the grubs. I would prefer not have to use it at all but 
at this stage I don't have netting setup.

The tomato dust protects against a whole range of things, but I'm only 
interested in protecting against the grubs that get into the fruit. Does 
anyone know when I should start applying the dust and how frequently? 
The directions say every 7-10 days from shortly after they are 
seedlings, but this is clearly too early for what I need.

Thanks

Lionel.
