Amkuska's 2025 Garden

[ducks4you]

The ONLY reason I plan to use it is bc the cats can't get to anything. I have tried it before, it's really smaller than you think, you have to build the skeleton right or it won't stay together.
I took mine apart and stored it in the attic in a cleaned up and used kitchen trash can, minus the lid, so that's the storage.
I guess if I get it set up I can back to you on this.

If you happen to please let me know. I steered my sister to a sturdier one though.

Bugs the greenhouse again. Need oil and soap mixed with water doesn't work, but laying the plant sideways in the sink and blasting them down the drain does.

I guess it's daily water blasts until I find something that works.

Aphids were bad in the greenhouse through the Summer.

I sprayed 3 times; both neem and insecticidal soap were used. The peppers were mostly okay with just knocking down the worst of the bug problem.

The eggplants were a different story. (Why do bugs  love eggplants so much ?) Anyway, I guess that pyrethin could be used, as i sometime use it when squash bugs and cucumber beetles stage a comeback. It's recommended for aphids by various Ag Extension offices. Here's Michigan State Link. Good Luck

My brilliant mother in law brought by some insecticidal soap to try! I blasted off all the visible bugs, but I'll spray it with the soap an some neem oil for good measure and see if that kicks it.
