A safe pesticide is diatomaceous earth... is that how you spell it? It's basically sharp fossils that cut up the bodies of the aphids. Sounds awful doesn't it... sort of like eating Dave's Insanity... or does it hurt so good? Hmmm. I doubt the aphids will think so. - mary It would be nice if I could just dip the seedling in some >sort of safe pesticide while I transplant. *********************************************************************** FireGirl (Everybody Needs A Hero) We sell hot sauce!
