Nay. Good soil practices will balance your problems themselves. Allow proper soil maintenance to maintain your biome and you will have less problems with insects and disease. No till. Beneficial bacterias. Effective microorganisms. Home made made fertilizers, composts and teas (Korean natural.farming techniques).

Grow good soil with active ingredients and bugs and it will do the work for you.

I've sent six emails to my MP since the electio. Zero responses. My MP is even indigenous, sits in the governing party and has all the historical and current reasons to fight. I guess the bank deposits are too good to give a shit about much more.

Whoever came up with Houston's, I'm a Liberal with a conservative title schtick took care of any hangers on. I hate how fucking brilliant that was for the population that exists here because people are too stupid to see the actual truth.

In my area even the liberals love this guy. It's insane. They can't see past the charisma. Slimy shitheel.

And pointing out exclusively how much money his government has funded to that particular county. Maybe a little passive aggressive but that's the Nova Scotia way after all.

Perhaps we can read between the lines a bit and not give our elected officials carte blanche by interpreting ourselves but instead insisting they clarify the meaning of their words.

 

I keep mentioning that this guy is a fascist in centrist clothing and often get derided for it.

I stripped all the paint off the oak moldings and doors in an old apartment I lived in. It took a while but it was worth it. The building sold eventually and we moved but it was so beautiful.

Bland food and all that. No one who likes flavor dislikes the smell of garlic.

You can make an insecticide from spicy peppers onions, ginger and garlic boiled in water to extract the oils. Chop and smash the veggies good first to help release the juices. Add them to a pot and bring to a boil then simmer for half an hour. Careful it makes your house smell delicious.

Strain, cool and add to a spray bottle. The oils and capsicum will burn all soft shell insects. Add a drop of dish soap for best results the surfactants help hold it to the bugs but it isn't necessary. Spray plants liberally a couple of times a day making sure to get in the branch crooks and under leaves as well as the soil surface.

It works especially well for aphids and spider mites but be assured it will kill good bugs too. Insecticide is insecticide regardless of what it is made of.

Also Canadian. I bet you can extend seasons depending on what you are trying to grow. A small cold frame would be beneficial for greens, brassicas and other cold weather crops. We grow these year round. When we were in the city I made some from some old pallets and a window I picked up in alleyway junk piles.

 

Hurts your ears most days. Wouldn't change it for the world.
