For the highest quality, you need to use a vector art program like Adobe Illustrator. Applications like Photoshop and Gimp are raster-based, meaning when you draw your logo, it is represented by discrete pixels at a fixed resolution. For example, if you resize the image for print (higher...

Try diatomaceous earth. It's meant to suck the life out of arthropods.

If you're all organic, I'd say go for it. It's recommended you eat them when they're young, like the shoots. I imagine they're very tough to chew as the bines mature. Hop plant parts used

What does the water to grain ratio affect? Is it okay to use more water so it's easier to cover the grains? I'm not sure how Beer Smith comes up with the recommended numbers, but it's telling me that 2 qts of sparge (versus 3.5 qts mash) is sufficient for 2.5 lbs of grain.

The wings look too long to be fungus gnats, but you might want to look into those. They're a PITA and strive in wet/humid conditions. Hopefully your soil isn't too saturated?

Water can knock them off, but it won't kill them or keep them away. I find they just keep on coming. If you see ants on plants with aphids, they're there to farm (their nectar) and protect the aphids in a symbiotic relationship. Beware, I've used this organic insecticidal soap on my hops once...

I'm growing hops on my condo balcony. I topped them off last night because it was starting to grow outside of the balcony and up the side of the building. The condo association already hates me for having ropes run up to my ceiling, so I don't want to piss them off with vines growing up the side...

Yeah I saw that. Anywhere from 50-100. Insane.

I'm looking to buy a neon beer sign as a housewarming gift for a friend. He's intent on setting up a bar in the basement so I thought I'd help get him started. He really likes SN, so I found these on ebay: sierra nevada sign, Collectibles items on eBay.com Has anyone had experience with...

Not really sunny. It was dusk. Maybe 7:00pm after work. It's been in the low 80s max. You think they got burned by the pesticide? It's all natural...

A couple of nights ago I sprayed my hops with an organic insecticide after noticing some pests (white flies?) causing some small holes to form on the leaves. My Warrior plant also had some minor leaf curl. The bugs are white/light colored and fly off the leaves when disturbed. BUT, I came...

I bought a rhizome from freshops a month ago. Looks like they're out now...

Btw, I just noticed my Warrior vines are starting to have mild symptoms similar to yours. My 2 Cascades seem to be unaffected for whatever reason. I looked closer and noticed a few aphids on the underside of the leaves. I then sprayed all of my plants with insecticidal soap. It's basically some...

The leaves look like they're getting chewed up?

Tell that to the brew computers at Anheuser Busch that make beer consistent beer from year to year!
