Default Re: Something is eating my "Manzano"'s leaves.

Thanks for the reply.
Actually I don't see too many butterflies over here. Maybe were off the flyway.

I watered yesteday and the little (3/8) bettles came running out. I squished, sorry Ladies, about five of them. I also noticed some small caterpillers, but without my glasses all I could do was squish them. They were 1/2"-3/4" long but not very wide, like a spagetti. They weren't centipedes.

I ordered some "Neem" yesterday and I think I will have to cancel. The Qt of Neem was $24. and the shipping was $27. OUCH! I don't know why companies think they have to send everything to Hawaii by 2nd Day Air. A flat rate box from the Post Office work just as good and is less than $10.

Maybe you can answer this? There are two types of Neem. One is 100% Neem with Azadirachtin in it. This has been proven to stop the Chinese Rose Beetle. This is hard to find. The other is a product with 70% Clarified with all the good properties taken out.

Anyone have any experience with either?
Thanks,
Al
