Default Systemic pest killers

Apropos of nothing (much less Rob's point) The article I referenced in
regard to 120F water and mealies becomes more interesting the more we talk
about this. One of my patients is a Rose judge and she's heard of the use
of hot water for pest control.... who knows....????

You are correct, I have spotted them on other plants.
Cheers Wendy


I found mealies in huge amounts growing on grass (big bluestem, I think)
under my benches. Yes, I have grass growing under some of my benches
along with the oxalis and jewel-weed, you got a problem with that? *grin*

Hopefully I can get the plants outside this summer and excercise my
herbicidal tendencies.

Rob's Rules: http://littlefrogfarm.com
1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a) See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more
orchids, obtain more credit
