Then why are you asking about pillbug control? ;-)

I'm not. I asked if anything would repell them. We didn't have a big
problem with them up in New York.

Ooh, you are killing something! (sorry, could not resist)

A plant is not a sentient being, though a sentient being can live in a
plant. Still then, you are not killing the sentient being, it's in
one of the hell realms.


I suspect that the passiflora is not getting enough nitrogen... but I'm
still going to use BT this year. At least it's organic.

It's organic, but still a pesticide and still killing with intention.
I'm not saying you are any less than me because you choose to kill
anything, I'm simply expressing that I do not intentionally kill
anything and Bt, though very tempting, especially on my Mountain
Laurels, is out of the question.

I've found a local bat roost and am planning to pick up some of the
composted guano from that site for a lot of this years plants.

Cheers!

Yes, we do that too. Wear a mask and gloves and be very careful.
That is fresh guano and can carry many pathogens. I usually get mine
under the McNeil bridge in Round Rock. It's the second largest urban
bat colony in the world. Congress Avenue, Anne Richards bridge is the
largest urban colony in the world.
