Default Growers that we trust

I found an old screen box - nylon screen on all six sides that is about
3 feet on a side. I do not know what the original use was. It has a
nylon zipper on one side. I put new plants in the box and then take the
box into the greenhouse.



Amazingly excellent idea! There is still brilliance to be had in
the world. I wish I had some.

The trick is I also put a 1/2 cup of ladybugs out of the refrigerator in
the screen box with the plants. I leave everything that was for a week
or two.



I bet they don't eat spidermites... But it is still a good idea.
