Re: mystery reinforcements

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Have you tried Diatamatious Earth??? Personally, I feel that is the Bulk of the
ingredients for Ortho's Orthine, being as it is the same consistancy and color,
just that they add a stinky smell to it, in the form of a chemical.  I have used
DE on ants, with great success, and it is organic!
Hope this helps.
