RE: orchids and other houseplants

Thanks Natalie and Ruth,

I guess I won't go out of my way to invite earthworms into my home, and I
will try to overcome my disgust of earthworms, since I will surely come
across them and similar creatures when I will garden outdoors.  Speaking of
which, how do you all feel about leaving beer out in the garden for slugs
(in warm weather)?

Thanks again.
Donna
