I once paid $5 to see a chicken play checkers but damn I'd paid more than that to see a chicken that can trim my reefer fertilize my garden and ward off bug's while warding off the local feral cat's that keep confusing my garden with a litterbox (damn cat feces lost a whole crop once due to salmonella I am guessing something funky got in the bud that's all I know) in fact now I am tempted to train and market a new breed of chicken... the perimeter defense fowl.

Oh man. I think they worked...haven't really been to my "whatever area", as ABM calls it lol, lately. But I have noticed those plants perking up and looking happier...I noticed some chomping action on some leaves so I think I got rid of the earwigs, but now I have caterpillars again lol. Bastards. I will check the traps today and if I caught any earwigs I'll snap pics.

I prefer Neem oil for now.....but after week 4 of flowering I will only use BT......The Neem kills the grasshoppers too so that is I why I like it. But it stinks so i don't want it in my buds......BT works good on caterpillars and young grasshoppers......but not the adult grasshoppers.

I am a ninny I get scared of attracting spiders to my patch, but they come anyway. I don't know this by experience but supposedly you can attract them by making a small dry wood pile by the patch. With the way they protect my kindling rack I believe it may work. Wish I could remember the details, because one is supposed to stack it a certain way to keep some of the wood in the middle from getting soaked... anyone else know what I am talking about? I also have a rock pile in the corner of my veggie garden that attracted a few funnel web's that have been working great for a ton of ground pests. But be wary funnel web's are very poisonous but also very timid, they don't come out much during the day unless uber freaked out.

STEP ON THEM! how hard is it. Everyday when I water my pots either 20 baby crickets come out or 1 or 2 pincher bugs. What do I do? Step on the pincher bugs and leave the crickets alone.

If steping on them does work. get this bait. http://www.pestproducts.com/intice-perimeter-bait.htm
actually they dont even eat roots. they live in soil or under debris and eat mites, aphids, basically anything smaller than them and can fit in their mouths.

They are not known to eat root systems, but are known to live in soil and under yard trash/debris
