garden tips
 
Plant strawberries by digging a V-shaped hole about 8 inches deep.  Spread the roots out, place the roots against the side of the hole, then push soil against the roots.  As the plant sends out runner, trim all but the best six runners for an abundant crop.

The pleasant, no-glare light is good for people, as well as plants. Superior to other full-spectrum bulbs, and less expensive, too!

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California.  These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids.  Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.

Praying Mantises live throughout most of the US and Canada.  The "patient predators" will eat flies, leafhoppers, caterpillars, and aphids.   These garden friendly insect predators sometimes will munch on the other good guys - like bees and wasps.

Corn earworms are ugly caterpillars that start chewing on corn stalks as soon as they pop out of the ground.  You can minimize the damage these bugs wreak by sprinkling ground lime on corn ears once the silk appears.

Harlequin bugs are smelly bugs that pierce the tissue of plants and suck the fluids.  Keeping your garden clear of debris and using crop covers is a preventative measure. If you find these bugs, spray with a soapy water solution.
