Whoa, whoa! You aren't registered on www.recfoodcooking.com
I don't know how you hacked the system to post your
message, but it won't be archived (and many people won't
respond to it) as long as you're an unregistered user.
You don't have to give your real name or anything,
and it's free. I can understand why you might not
want to give them your IGA discount card number,
but you can always get an extra card from IGA
just for that purpose, and not give them the number
on your "real" card. (Of course, that's dishonest,
but there's no way you're ever going to get caught
and let's just say it wouldn't surprise me if there
were people around here who did exactly that. :-)

Your gardening question might be best answered by the fine folks at
rec.gardens.edible or rec.gardens, Maria. Good luck.

touch. Tormenting newbies, tsk, tsk. LOL.

Look up some sites on organic gardening and pest control. There are a
number of different methods. One is to use other insects to eat the pests.
For instance, some wasps eat certain caterpillars. Ladybugs eat aphids.
Japanese beetles can be trapped by using scent attractants. Some manually
kill a number of insects and then pulverize the corpses and spray them on
the plants in order to foster bug killing disease. Grubs can be controlled
by spreading gritty substances around the bases of the plants, or by
setting out bowls with beer that they drink and then drown in.

Blowing tobacco smoke at pesky bugs also helps...
