That's great information, Gene. Until I built my solarium (winter, 2015), I never really dealt with insects or fungi. I do have two greenhouses (and a third, temporary one), but what few insects in those structures were typically controlled with yellow/blue sticky cards. I do use those cards in the solarium and boy, do they load up with aphids/fungus gnats/white flies rapidly. I will have to look into Azamax as an addendum to those cards.

By the way, the homemade insecticide that I occasionally use on my orchids (1 pint alcohol + 1 pint 409 + 3 quarts water) is not well-tolerated by my Plumeria leaves. I have had to quit using it on the Plumeria. I even tried using it at 1/2 strength, but the leaves still would not tolerate it.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
