Karene, that is a useful thing to know! The fungus gnats problem was bugging
me [tee hee hee] this evening when I went into the plant room to water things
and sure enough, right on schedule, there were a few buzzing around, a sure
sign of more to come. I thank you for sharing that information. Do you see
any problems with using this several times on house plants that are not due
to be repotted, or does one good drench of the soap solution knock the gnats
out for good?
I went ahead and redid your subject line for you. I thought that CULT was
probably a good tag here since we are talking about cultural practices and
problems.
