Here I grow again

I just came back in from doing my Saturday morning ritual in the garden. I looked up at the top of the high tunnel and there’s probably 40 or 50 lace wings on the ceiling. Ah naturale pest control. If there’s this many adults I hate to think how many little bitty assassins are crawling around here that aren’t big enough to see yet.:+1:t3::+1:t3::+1:t3:

Excellent!

IMHO lacewings are vastly underrated…and much better mite predators than ladybugs will ever be!

Seems lady bugs will do a pretty good job on aphid, however thrip/mites seem to be lacewings forte.
When you have a bunch of larva working you can see them with their victim’s bodies all over their backs! Pretty cool, and I’m sure those adults will breed pretty quick inside your tunnel!

I don’t want nothing breeding in my tunnel… yikes!
This just reminded me of something… Who the heck was it?? Use to be a cat on another site who was big time into worm castings and bone char. He was big time organic but his other thing was … And this is my :question: I can’t remember. Something maybe to do with black flys, I don’t think it was lacewings but maybe it was molting or they produced a substance?? What am I thinking of Doc Flash?

LoCo, wish I could help…only thing that comes to mind is he may have been talking about insect frass.

LOL, I always found it interesting that worm ‘castings’ and insect ‘frass’ are both talking about crap,
but sound so acceptable at the dinner table !

Correct it’s the one that was in the solo cup. Not the exact same one but another one. I honestly can’t remember if this is a clone or a different seed. :man_shrugging::v:t3:

Deconstruction almost complete. Won’t be long now and reconstruction will begin. Getting all my ducks in a row so when I get back with the hull I can start doing brackets and mounting hardware, dash, steering, floor supports etc. etc. :+1:t3::v:t3:
