Ok riddle me this. Was clocking 60/60 in basement, ,and now that I'm hanging a tree or two I'm reading 67 / 60 ish. Why so high on the humidity. I had basement window cracked when was getting 60% humidity, I closed the window and it went up. Tell me I'm stupid and should just crack the window and the humidity might drop? Or am I way off?

A few up and comers plants would generate a few drops of dew. Start getting 3-5#er's and you need some air.

Can't wait to show you mine. Least I can do. Just ain't getting past the bathroom for a bit. Lame foot. Lol. You are people are stuck with me.

Does anybody here have any experience farming any lady bugs? Im thinking of trying to get a colony or whatever going or a few that I can build up over winter and have a constant supply of... Thats one of those things I hate buying every year... Thats also how I got into worm bins because I hated buying castings ($$).

Would love to get any experienced info from anyone thats gone down this road before. Will be reading up on it in the meantime and may post my findings if anyone is interested.

:peace:

okay, heres what I know about lady bugs. You can buy them more easily in the spring months, and the problem is they all usually fly away within a day or two. A solution to this is to use netting, to keep them from doing this... if you have aphids or a food source they will stick around and flourish, maybe even fornicate, ( I have witnessed but will not testify), they also like mountain Dew soda, dunno why, but if you have them under the netting and want to spoil them, thats a trade secret.
This concludes my knowledge of ladybugs.
Thank you.

Open her up. Spray down thoroughly with starting fluid or electrical contact cleaner while manually rotating the shaft. Blow dry if possible. Wait 10 minutes if not. Wear glasses through out process. Apply a couple drops of 3 in 1 oil to each end of the shaft at the bushings. Might take a push to start her. She'll better than new. Wash the blades and cages while apart. Ammonia and dish soap makes short work of it.

They stay if you have food in your plants and adequate moisture. I had 25 become hundreds in just over 3 weeks. Totally eradicated the toughest citrus mealies I have ever dealt with.
