RE: What's new? Getting ready for winter!
We are having an invasion of birch shield bugs ... aka stink bugs. Im wondering if this is a cycle year. They are insane. But at least they don't bite.
I just add 10-20 drops of the oil to water in a spray bottle. You could also add it to the eucalyptus concoction you make. :) i figure something has to work.
They are clever critters... always find a way in!
I love the idea of the kitchen in the atrium! I would live in there lol!! Will you be moving the plants? Or will that be your jungle for the summer? What about lemon balm? Or citronella plants in there? Then you have them to make the infusion to spray!?
I have never heard of birch shield bugs. That is a good thing that they don't bite. The bugs are relentless. I guess they have to live too.
I am going to straighten up the atrium and do some pics for a blog. We need to use it for our garden so the plants won't move. I think when I am done and they are grown a bit it will look cool. With the hot tub in there it will be a great place to sit and relax.
I don't have lemon balm or citronella plants. Maybe when I go to town I will see if I can find some. I never thought about planting them. So much to think about. I think I need to start lists so I don't for get all of these things.
