Some changes at country gardens....

15 years ago

I just checked the country gardens website and there have been some changes. The prices have been reduced and now shipping is charged. They are offering some new brugs, some that I haven't seen before. Can't wait to order in the spring.

Help! Fire ant mound the size of some countries!
Q
Comments (16)
conserve is a greenlight product "bait like amdro" but has spinosad as its active ingredient so is soft on beneficial insects and takes out fire ants very well. I now use it in the garden center to deal with outbreaks because I can use it any where including around veggies in containers where I have to be very selective to what I can use legally as well as common-sense dictates using the least toxic method that will deal with the problem. For my money it is the best product on the market to deal with your problem. Many of the posts above are useful and if you need orange oil for other types of problems then that also is a good overall product for your situation. Best if you can add compost tea and or molasses at the same time you do your soil drench as this will help grow more of the antagonist soil microbes that will slow or stop reinfestation of fire ants for a longer period.

for those of you in bear country...I need some advice
Q
Comments (23)
hey everybody...first off, thanks for all your responses, including your condolences. We will be ok, in time. Secondly, if any of you are wondering why it's taken me so long to respond, it's because for some reason my computer friend here does not seem to want to open any threads I have posted on and keeps popping up an irritating little "operation aborted" box. I am guessing it has something to do with the anti-spam/anti-cookie program we run occasionally, but I am not sure. Anyway, some days opening my treasured forums site slows to a crawl and I don't always have the time/patience for it. Now, back to the topic at hand. I did order some pepper spray, but the company I worked with advised me to not go with the bear formula but instead order a police-issue type because the bear formulation is way too much for a human and could in fact be a lethal dose. I could just see her trying it out when we were gone and having it drift back in her own face...eeeks. I was WAY put off by the cost: which came up to 84$ and change for an 8 oz canister and two purse sized ones. I could have gotten three gallons of GAS for that much money!! :) I will just keep that bit of info to myself, and besides, she is pleased with the whole plan overall, and that is worth a million dollars to me anyway. I am willing to bet that she never once has to use the stuff, but knowing she has it and that it does have stopping power will be a huge confidence booster. I wish I could explain her personality in words that don't make it sound as if I am disdainful or disrespectful...her siblings have told me that she was raised "the baby" and as a result led a pretty sheltered life but that's all over now and it will be really really hard for her. Her son and I need to be as supportive as we can without becoming her security net.

Need some help....changing from primitive to more french country
Q

And if you live anywhere near Winnipeg, you could sell me your old primitives :-) I've just bought a few pieces and am falling in love with the whole primitive look. I've found a few European decor magazines at our local bookstore. They seem to have authentic French country looks in some - you might want to try that too.

I don't get it? It is cheaper postage to some other states outside of FL than postage inside FL? Is that right?
I didn't see FL listed so it must be included in the 'any other state' section? The nursery is in FL so why does it cost so much inside the same state? Am I having another blonde moment? LOL
help lol...

Lynette if I'm not mistaken postage goes by zones so the cost can be the same for 2 miles as well as 200 miles away as long as it's the same zone. That's for USPS. Not sure about FedEx or UPS.

Lenette, they answer that question there in the FAQ for shipping..I remember reading it there, but I'm sorry I don't remember the answer. Or am I thinking of another site? I'm pretty sure it's them...your blonde is rubbing off on me, lmao.

LOL I am just telling you all what I would want to know! Its torture for me too! Yes Lucy, I think I am in for a rude awakening when I actually have to find a place for them all. Thats why I'm not getting all that upset when I lose a cutting. But there are a few that I would be devastated to lose. But you all know what this addiction is like....can always find room for one more.

lol, and we DO want to know, and we thank you for it..if not sometimes sarcastically on my part, lol, but ya know I'm just joshin ya! hehe..of course there is ALWAYS room for one more..plus one, plus one, plus one...who needs to eat AT the table..what hon? you need to use the toilet, just put the plant on the edge of the tub or floor for now..lol

I have discovered that if I go to a website...order a bunch of stuff I want..fill up the cart..begin the ordering process, but stop right when it's time to put in the credit card number..then walk away for a bit. I come back, the cart is empty, cuz time expired, and I actually feel like I bought stuff, lol. So far this lil mind trick has worked on my feeble brain..as long as I can keep it going, this could possibly get me through these icky winters without threats of divorce cuz i buy 6 trillion plants and seeds (last winter I was baaaad)

Oh daniella....Your TOO funny, but so right!!...I've got two orders put in already with two different companies (not country gardens) and you KNOW when the plants start coming in at the local garden centers, I'm there!!!...lol

I go Mon-Thru when my hubbys at work, get home, get them planted and he doesn't even know what I did!!!!...lol

The "take me home" tables in the fall are another story...When my hubbys with me, I tell him "they have to go home with me!!...Look at them, they are SO sad"..lol

lol Knotz, me too..they never notice if something new is in the ground!

Lenette, I was just at CG & this is what their shipping thingy majiggy says..
"NOTE....Prices have been reduced and
postage is now charged.This will give
our customers who live closer a better
break on total cost.West coast customers
should be close to the old totals"

So, you all in Fl get the better deal in shipping cost.
lucky ducks!

Yeah but it doesn't specifically say FL is in that cheaper shipping group on the 'shipping page' when you have to add it to the order. It doesn't list FL in any of them so it would be considered 'other states' which is higher shipping than other surrounding states LOL! You have to go to the shipping page listed in the 'catalog' to see what I am talking about.

sultry...Florida should be on the first list of states.If it isn't it just means I was having a senior moment.
I am in the process of changing the catalog now;trying to do a page a day.I'm up through page 5 now.There are a few new ones there and will be more when I'm through.Also adding some other stuff besides brugs.Those will go on last of course.I appreciate it very much when someone tips me off to a mistake on the site.I can look at changes 10 times and then when I go back to the site there is a big,glaring,error jumping off the page.
Going now to check on Florida.
