    Green Lacewings

    I just hung a bag of 1000 lacewing larvae in my mater patch. Anybody ever try them? I’ve gardened here for 21 years and suddenly last year aphids showed up in herds. I spray neem oil on them e ery week or so but I’d prefer not to if I can.

    Never heard of them... let us know how it works. We've got some aphids to deal with too.

    I’ve heard people swear that a marigold planted right by your tomatoes will keep all bugs off them.

    That's only if it's accompanied by a scarebug!
