SS--
I did not mean to start a whole new thread! I thought I was just posting...
That will be the day when I think I "discovered" something new on ATP. that no one knew yet...
NO WAY!!!
Seems many people have already checked this out--as there are a lot of comments--all favorable.
In cruising the "Ideas and Articles"--the best thing I found on there is a Post by someone (?)
on the "10 most common houseplant insects" and how to treat them non-chemically.
Not sure this is the exact title--but I copied it out (3 pages) and will use this information to help
customers at work. Seems everyone wants to buy cans of some kind of killer spray to deal with Fungus Gnats.
First thing I ask them is--"So--are you planning to run all through the house and spray every Gnat?
It is near the end of the "Articles and Ideas" listings. I think, next-to-last topic.....
This is where I will spend 15 minutes "educating" the customer about Fungus Gnats.
I don't know why--but HD stopped carrying the "Mosquito Bits". Wonder what happened?
We still have the "Dunks". Glad I bought about 3 bottles of it last year. These will kill the FG larva.
I LOVE that I can turn people around in what they thought they needed to do--and then understanding
what they REALLY need to do. I do this a lot...... and they will always remember that i did and helped
them see...."The Light"...
Just the other day--a nice man saw me stocking shelves in aisle #1 and said to me--"SO? You are now working inside?
I said something like---"Well--there is nothing outside yet to work on"...besides, Aisle #1 is part of garden as well.
He said--I remember you! You are really good and you know a lot about gardening. "Thank you...humbly saying it 3 times...
And he said--NO! You really DO know a lot. AWWWWW>>>>>
I DO hear this a lot...from many long-time customers. Some people even remember me from my 1st 5 years
working in the GH and how nice everything was at all times.
Makes me very thankful and humble--but, deep down--it is rewarding.
Hope spring will arrives in a couple days! Gita
Part of my LR jungle....
