Re: Bugs on Peppers

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

I was spreading a  little manure (ok, a lot of manure) on my strawberries
yesterday and afterwards I just lightly brushed the strawberry plants back
and forth with my hand to clear them off. Within seconds the little plants
were covered with ladybugs which were hiding underneath the leaves. Next
time I will bring a camera.
