Howdy! Last year I was swarmed with a new pest: whiteflies. They were attracted to a huge cantaloupe bush. It got so bad that they spread to cucumbers in my front yard on the complete opposite side of the house. I ended up spraying a deathly mixture of neem and DAWN soap!

Howdy, I’m getting tired of pulling weeds between these stones in my backyard, and I’m looking for something to just nuke them. I’m ok with a temporary fix as I know they will come back. As long as I can pour something all over this area relatively safely a few times a year. I have a raised bed (approx 3.5 ft high) that I’d imagine wouldn’t be affected, but just wanted to see if anyone had ideas. Before I posted here, I was thinking about dumping loads of vinegar, but that seems a little... Read more ..read more
