We usually water with a watering can once a day in hot, dry weather, but it doesn't hurt to skip a day or so.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744599834332468794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713300539502701324.post-37768962134747391782008-07-13T16:33:00.000-04:002008-07-13T16:33:00.000-04:00I had read about this method and was interested in...I had read about this method and was interested in trying it.

I am gonna have to try those scouring pads around some of my hostas that are beginning to be eaten by the new crop of slugs. <BR/><BR/>What will you do with the bales after planting season? Will you use them for mulch or compost them first??Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
