>sorry, I live in a community and would be hung out to dry if they saw me >using nonorganic means to control things. Besides that, I'm going for >organic certification. The main point I was trying to make was to do *something*, rather than *nothing*. If you give the little guys/gals a breather between attacks, and they get a chance to build up their strength, they can handle most of what comes their way without further intervention. I don't try to push the use of chemicals. I don't have a problem with them, but I respect those who do. When I find a "greener" solution that works for me, I don't hesitate to switch. I'm sure Monsanto, DuPont and Co. will survive if they lose me as a customer. Good luck with your certification! Scott... Always lookin' for a better way... KCK
