Carygardener, I think you convinced me to start my plants from seed. I paid a good price for the 3 Daisy plants I bought. Thanks Happyintexas! Good news is that at the base of the problem plants there is nice new green growth! Thanks Ellen, At the beginning of the season I sprinkled garlic powder at the base of plants to keep the rabbits away. I worked for a while. This was before the Daisy's though. I do though put some Garlic powder in the pepper spray since I know the rabbits don't like it. I have not sprayed the daisy's for a while now and they are coming back at the base. As far as ingredients the only thing I put in the solution is pepper and garlic. I read about soap and egg whites. Never liked the idea of soap and did not like the idea of spoiled spray that I imagine would be caused by the egg whites. It seems to work on all but the viola's that I have. The rabbits just love the flowers of the Viola for some reason. I spray in the evening. A2zmom, I live in Mercer County. My raised garden the soil is a dream. I spent a lot of time working on the soil. The other gardens I amended pretty well. It is a real drag digging in areas other than the gardens, especially when it has not rained in a long time. It is as hard as cement! Ken

I've used Diatomaceous Earth Powder (all natural) to kill earwigs. Thanks, Jeannie :) Here is a link that might be useful: Diatomaceous Earth Insect Powder

Why plant in the same spot? They rotted for a reason. I think once you get root rot you have to change the media before replanting in that spot.

I thought i put this in the right forum, but, it looks like i didnt, if a moderator could move this to the appropriate area in the forum, id appreciate it, thanks
