I think you are right, next thing they are going to invite more rabbits and then more, may be this should end SOON!!! THE JUDGEMENT DAY HAS COME! WILL BE EATING STEW ALL WEEK LONG, AS LONG IT TAKES.
Just joking around, thanks for the advice. :-))

Newfie NO specifically but try the formula #2 in a controlled area every two weeks. You may be surprised. Let us know. The chemistry may work OK. VAN

by the way, Van, my Grandad told me that they used to keep a big crock on the back porch as a spittoon. Great granma wouldn't let'em chew in the house..LOL When it got full they'd cap it and replace it with an empty. This was their bug spray....LOL don't use tobacco on the nightshades( tomato and potato) cuz it makes them susceptible to a virus....... as far as the wasps go, they are your freinds..... until they make a nest in the carbeurator you took off your racecar and set on the shelf sunday and put back on thursday and then you lose two weeks in a row trying to figure out why the engine only dies at 6000 rpm and above...LOL wasps paralyse their prey(not kill) then they lay one egg on it and pack it into a little hole sealed with some leaves and clay. When the egg hatches, the larvae eat the prey alive.....ughhhh ain't nature great?????

GLASS See you are back after some personal time off. The board has wandered into a cesspool of late. We got a bunch of idiots when CMKX board was shut down. Most Longs are not saying much. Sevearl of us are on a "pumper" list. VAN

It's rather easy to get off that list. Besides, you're way down near the end. LOL
I don't know if any of you have ever tried this, but Muratic Acid (for cleaning bricks)makes a great weed killer and it is cheap. Wouldn't suggest using it in the garden, but it's great for walks, driveways, etc. It does leave a bit of a stain for a while.

Oh well on my side, we have kind of bad weather here in Ontario, I noticed slow growth in plants this year. I usually have my lilies blooming in May, this year they are almost eaten before they will have a chance to open up may be in July. And not talking about the tomatoes. The funny things I live 1 hour North of my parents house and their garden almost look like genetically altered (huge) - ohh well must be the warmer front and sheep sh...lol
