Dont feel bad Bugs. I finally got my exotic Ginger to sprout (have three large leaves on three, two havent come up yet.) and something has eatten the leaves completely off my white ginger!!!! I have looked and looked and the little booger is no where to be found! I thought it was a "eat and run" but now the leaves of my blue ginger is being munched on!!
I am thinking a stake out is on order!!!
Can to join me!!?? Then we can stake out your iris'!!!!

Go out after dark with a flashlight and shine it on your plants. Lots of bugs, especially earwigs, do their chomping at night. For earwigs, mix one part veg. oil, one part soy sauce and l part molasses. Put in shallow containers among your plants. It worked for me. Dooley

I have a remedy for slugs and snails , But I'm not sure I can post on this forum .
It involves young boys (preferably 6 to 10 years old ) and motor cars .Perfectly envoirnmentaly friendly .
Question . How long does it take for a snail to cross the road ? Bugs
