OK will do Polly. I'm still too tentative with the fert. on these guys. I laid down Hollytone and Milorganite (rabbits) before mulching and applied the Miracid only once about a month ago.
One of the things I did this spring with new JI and sibs was water them well everyday, rain or shine, for 3 weeks. All are doing well. Last year I lost a few, I think from under-watering. Once the JI are established they seem much like any other moisture loving plant to me.
What is the best way to distinguish thrip damage?
