Bagworms..!

Some of the extra joys of the Mid-West are torrential rain, tornadoes, extreme heat and cold, and critters, bugs and other nocturnal magnifications..

We spent a day fighting an serious outbreak of bag-worms these pests are like locusts and devour all things green in a heart beat . Our 16ft high Hornbeam hedge was the center of their attention…. we like our total privacy and the amazing energy savings achieved both in summer from the sun and winter from the wind.

Two applications later and only about 30% of the leaf area has been gulped by these monsters…

Our wise owl graduated !!

Our wise owl is scattered around the website to offer pearls of wisdom, ( knowledge). He was so good we allowed him to graduate this year complete with his own version of a graduating cap

Then with the planting list you can go and select your plants, but them along with our kit and take them home and plant them.

Weekend Gardener

This exciting project was the result of a few conversations way back in England some 15 years ago. Mike and I used to talk about creating “Garden Kits” for those homeowners that wanted to “Do It Themselves” but lacked all the “Knowledge” required.

Its taken us 15 years to figure how to Patent the idea and bring to market.. lets hope when you see this invention it will inspire you to start building your own “Designed Gardens”

The new miniSquirt has been launched and is receiving positive independent reviews.

To recap, once you purchase a miniSquirt the cost of injecting each average size plant is just pennies - best of all this will last for at least a year.
