It's a sickness!
Out of all 7 varieties my Magnum is the only one that has aphids. What is a good method of KILLING those little suns of &itches? Without hurting the hops of course.

Sadly, it's become a local versus stray battle of the senses. My cats try to cover what the strays have left behind. I can watch my own cats but have no idea when the strays are coming in. And they always go for the same mound. [/rant]

Plus, I mow barefoot and that would just be upsetting
Best cat repellant= Gamo or Benjamin air rifle. A single pump or three keeps the velocity down, and the shot much less than lethal. As the frequency in visits warrants, a couple more pumps are used. Barring that, I let my dog at 'em. She loves to eat cats.GilaMinumBeer said:...[start rant] Me, I need a cat repellent. Have tried water, a daisy, cayenne pepper, and chicken wire.

It looked like a tiny, clear inch worm, but was probably only a millimeter in size. Suffice it to say, I used a toothpick to remove it and killed it. Hopefully there aren't anymore down there...

You know, I could see that. Well, good thing I just killed one. Luckily, the hops are still indoors so they can get a headstart. If they have a lot of pest problems while indoors, I've got more to worry about than hops getting ruined. :cross:GilaMinumBeer said:That sounds like a nematode and it might actually be a benificial one at that. Some of those are devastating to Japanese Beetle larvae.

My cats, typically go in the house box. Been at this house going on 5 years and have yet to step in any surprises. Beyond that, I got almost no trees to have to deal with twiggy pediatric problems. And lastly, **** it, I like the way the grass feels between my toes.
Arsenic is organic too
