Wow! Quiet out there.
Everyone must be sleeping with their fishes. ;-)
Apparently there was a heron on my roof this morning, neighbor informed me. Course everything is zipped up tight here now. Put the smaller pump in so am now on total slow flow. Did pretty much the last of the leaves today and cut the cannas down and stowed them in the garage. One thing I found out, debugging the taro does work as I didn't do it this year and boy did the aphids thrive once brought in. To treat I got some light weight clear plastic sheeting and a hanging no-pest-strip. Covered the plants and hung the strip. They started dying within hours, dropping into the water. I'm hoping leaving it on for 2 weeks will do in the ones that are hatching and will hatch. Anyone have advice on that? Like could the chemical being killing the eggs? I did read they don't make eggs immediately after hatching, so I shouldn't have to worry about new eggs from new hatchings as fast as this killed the adults. Come Feb. if & when I see anything on the cannas I will probably do this same thing, rather than treating the plants directly and worrying about anything entering the ponds after the fact. I've never had a problem probably due to the long time between treating and putting them in the pond.... but no use taking chances. Next year I'll probably do this type debugging while they're still on the patio. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
