As a btw, I have successfully used bright-yellow poster board smeared with Vaseline for bugs, both in the house and outside in the gardens. I cut the poster board into page size pieces and hung it with string or propped it near the plants that were infested. The ones hung in the white fly infested gardinia had to be scrapped off and re-greased after the first couple of days Thumbs up I used the same ones for 2 years and passed them on to another gardener when I moved here.
I am in the "Weakly Weekly" fertilizing group and have never done it any other way (parental influence there). I use less than a ½ dose in summer, a ¼ dose in fall and winter and full strength when they are growing so fast in spring. My SIL uses lake water and has never fertilized her plants or lawn...
