I was having trouble with something eating all my plants that were coming up from the seeds I planted & nersery told me to mix up pyrethrum in a watering can & pore it over all the seedlings only trouble was it killes all the worms in the garden bed. was not a happy camper.. Now i mix it in a spray bottle & spray it .

I know someone who just spays a water mixture with canola oil on and he says the bugs won't eat it.

Been meaning post in here for a while - was wondering if any of you would like to see my old aquaponics set up?

It's in a state of limbo at the moment, since I moved it from under the back deck to the far back yard near the chook pen. When it's up and running again I'll let you know.

For bugs, boil up water, chilies, and garlic. Cool, spray on the plant.

It does work Bob.
When sprayed on lettuce you don't need salad dressing

Confidor works, but it kills bees.

Bob, quite aware of that fact (it's in big letters on the label) but none of our trees were in flower, ergo, no bees, although European bees have just wiped out a hive of the stingless native bees I mentioned a while ago
Each to his own, I suppose.
I think you'd like our place with all the flora & fauna.

Sorry to hear about your stingless bees. How do you know the honey bees did the deed? That would be the first time I've heard that. Extreme heat, or insecticides, will kill a hive. Having the hive in the right place is important. Some members of our association have been keeping stingless bees for years. I'll quiz them next time I see them. Always relaxing to have nature around.
