Re: CULT for Anne-Lise

Maureen,

Thanks for confirming my suspicions about this chemical.  I don't want
to treat with Cygon 2E because of its high toxicity but I don't really
have a choice until imidacloprid becomes available over the counter
here.

One more season like this year and I'll give up on Irises all together.
I have better success with Daylilies and Hostas.

I buy the granular mix, Marathon, in the States to use on my indoor plants for soil mealy bugs.  It works great.
