They make a granulated bait (similar to snail bait) that's geared toward pillbugs, earwigs and grasshoppers. Works wonders! I used to find mine in local nurseries and even some drug stores. My best earwig control so far are the bunches of little tree frogs in the GH. Man, can those little guys eat! A good spraying and soaking with Conserve will take care of thrips, probably also spider mites (I'd have to dredge up the container and read the label to find out what all it kills). Smell isn't bad at all. As for emptying a heavy tub of water in the house, you might try to find a very tiny sump pump thing. My DH used to have several he used to drain our koi breeding tank. Submerse the little pump in the bucket, run a short hose to wherever (sink?) and plug it in and let it do its thing. Emptying using a gallon juice container would also work, but would require several trips to the sink until the tub was empty enough to lift, and if you're like me, the floor would require mopup from all the dribbles and spills. I also have one of those "bump out" bay windows in the living room where I keep my phals. No lights on them so far, haven't figured out how to do that without ticking my DH off big time. They seem to get just enough light reflected from the white house across the way to grow and bloom, but the growth and blooms are nothing like they used to be in the GH. How about those long grow lights (like fluorescent tubes?) on a stand? Not cheap, but should keep light directed downward enough not to reflect too badly into the room. You do have a project coming up, for sure! Sharon

Beachlily, Rinsing is a very wise thing to do for eye accidents. Prevention is the only thing better. Corneas are no plaything. Whatever you do, go back to the MD for that check. I became very eye conscious when I taught Chemistry labs. I was one of the more obnoxious instructors and would yell across the room asking by name "so-and-so, where are your safety glasses?" I had an assistant and once, I noted her glasses were off and yelled at her. Not 30 seconds later, she smelled the top of a test tube with a reaction on-going, (strictly against all rules) and it blew up in her face! I quickly had her at the eye wash and we rinsed and rinsed, then transported her to the hospital. She had minor burns all over her face except for the area covered by the safety glasses she had replaced when I yelled at her. (I had felt bad for yelling until she was hurt). She was very grateful for my rudeness. Sunglasses are a good idea too for all of us gardeners...you just never know. beachlily, I am so glad you are going to be okay. We need the eye to garden and to appreciate the beautiful places. kay

CE 2011 approach
Q
Comments (12)
Been a while, but i thought i'd update the Chilemilios 2001 approach. Basically, i'm 2 months behind the season, but all the chiles seem happy. The 2nd sprouting attempts with 1/2 peat pods, and half potting soil was half succesful. i think the problem with the first sprouting attempt was that it was too moist along with pests. The peat pods on #2, not making contact with the water, had the most successful sprouts. The chile chamber itself has worked well, but i'm thinking it could use another hanging bulb, so that they don't have to be crowded around the middle of the chamber. started with 12, down to 4 due to space required. The rest of the chiles were split with the strongest 7 in the box window in the kitchen. Last year, the chiles in that window were not so strong, always drying out during the day with temps in the upper 90s. This year, i put two of those half sheets of paper towels cut half way up, around the base of the plants. Chiles are loving it, no drying out, they keep growing. I think the paper towels keep the moisture in and reflect the uv, keeping the soil cooler.. Anyways, here's the main pics showing the progress. I'll be uppotting to 4gal pots everywhere and keeping them trimmed in the next couple weeks. Peat Pods above water most effective. (left) Up-pot #1 into Solo Cups Up-Pot#2 - 12 pots (Spicy Thai, trinidad scorpion, nepalese Hot, J3, purple pequin, marouga long, trinidad 7-pot, yellow bhut, bhut Jolokia) Up-pot #2 - 4 pots (Yellow Bhut, Bhut Jolokia, Marouga, Trinidad 7-pot [with the curly leave syndrome]) Up-pot #2 - Kitchen Window w/ papertowels (top: Spicy Thai, Yellow Bhut, Trinidad Scorpion, Brazilian Starfish) (bottom: Purple Pequin, Trinidad 7-pot, purple pequin)

I meant to get mine out yesterday ,but it went out this morning. 2 day priority, so it should be on a doorstep Monay! (but of course it is the USPS so that's not a guarantee!) LOL

Mine will go out Monday morning. We have had volleyball each night and I am pooped after chasing after the girls at the games. Just waiting to get one thing done and ready to go.
