Today we applied diatomaceous earth to the pumpkins and tomatoes.  We found that filling a coffee can two thirds with DE and picking it up with the suction from the leaf blower it evenly distributed the fossilized diatoms both under and over leaves and vines.  Why didn't we think of this before?  Our original methodology may be viewed at the end of this post.

We remain convinced that DE is the the best material to use against non-beneficial garden pests.  Additionally the DE is 10% Calcium Bentonite which is a wonderful soil nutrient for both tomatoes and pumpkins.

We made two new 'how to videos' today.







and for those of you who want to stay in the 'know'..
