RE: Re: [CHAT) More mites and systemics

I don't know a darn thing about this stuff... but!

Our group has fought everything in the last two years in the

this restoration/plant sale stuff!

The county agent donated something we added to the soil, granular stuff.
We didn't have any problems this year... not sure if it was a
coincidence or the stuff worked. Will see if I can find out the name of
it...
