Quick question

[Rochelle Marsden]

If you want to be really nasty all you have to do with slugs is to pour some salt on them and they explode. Yuck!!!

Sow bugs look like littel gray armidillos. They are also called potato bug because of their shape.

I had been told they were harmless so I did nothing but then found they will eat new seedlings. I have
a big problem with seedlings not being there. it is hard to tell if it lack of germination or insects eating
them as they emerge. The Oniscus absolutely worked on them Will see what happens next year as there
are sow bugs, just not many at all. As previously note, the weather is really bizarre this year. I still have
hardly any tomatoes on the vine and usually am picking my first ones by now. Cukes have not germinated at all.
No green beans either germinating in the garden. Finally put squash and green been seeds in water in the house
and then transplanted them when they had some roots. Most of those are doing well. now. Other people reporting
similar aberrations in their gardens.

Slugs are like bigger snails without a shell. They are orangey in my garden and slimy. They are also hard to crush
as they are covered with some yukky coating that is hard to wash off your fingers. Squeezing them is like squeezing
one of those twistable balloons. What a survival characteristic. They have to be drowned or cut in half to kill them.
Pretty violent of me!

Thanks, Tanya. I have plenty of tansy growing wild here, but it's nowhere near flowering -- and the Japanese beetles are already appearing.
Just found this on the hpathy.com website, from Kaviraj back in 2011:
Japanese beetles can be controlled by Ricinus communis as a general remedy and Thuja or Ledum as more specific remedies. Ricinus is actually a companion plant to all vines and its use as a remedy at the beginning of the season is protective in general against pests and diseases. However, once the critters are there, you need to be more specific.
Peace,
Dale

Hi,

in a conversation I had with Kavi, he said the best way to eliminate pests is to find out who is the ENEMY of the pest and potentize it.

it is true he said that, but he also said that sometimes the pest itself is the remedy.
