WANTED: Need several things

Posted by santoury MA (santoury@aol.com) on

Hello!
I need as many pots as I can get. Clay pots if local, plastic if local, or elsewhere.

I need DIRT! For you New Englanders - if you have dirt you want to get rid of - Bring it over! I will use it all. Must be free of chemicals, trash, glass, etc.

I need business cards, flyers, and other paraphernalia made - anyone working at a printer or something?

I need plastic saucers for catching water - many, and all sizes.

Knock yourself out with my HAVE list of plants.

RE: WANTED: Need several things

For the business cards, check out vistaprint.com I had cards made from there & was happy with what I got. Also, you posted on another thread you were looking for sticky traps. The following has been cut & pasted from my site:

METHOD #1: Cut a piece of cardboard about 4"x9". Draw lines at 3" intervals along the long side. Paint the middle section w/ TangleTrap (use brush-on formula) sticky coating. If the cardboard is too absorbent coat first w/ a water-based polyurethane or use the printed side. Fold the sides up & tape along top making a tube.

METHOD #2: Use scrap wood & paint yellow, blue, or white. Combine equal parts of petroleum jelly or mineral oil & liquid dishwashing soap or laundry detergent, & mix well. Spread the glue on the painted wood & hang. In an exposed place, glue should last about 2 weeks. Remove old glue & pest remnants with a paint scraper & apply a fresh coat of glue.

~~~Yellow (aphids, whiteflies) blue (thrips) white (flea beetles)~~~

METHOD #3: Cut yellow, blue, or white posterboard into 3-6 inch wide strips. Apply TangleTrap to one side of each strip. Bend the strips into circles (sticky side facing out) & staple. Remove any severely damaged leaves from the infested plants & place the freestanding sticky cylinders around the plants.
**TangleTrap is nontoxic. www.tanglefoot.com
