Does anyone know of anyplace in Hawaii that sells ladybugs? I think there are places on the mainland that sell beneficial insects, but never heard of anything over here.

Maybe a good small biz idea. Perhaps the worm guys could add that to their inventory.

Forgot to mention - praying mantises would be another good candidate.

What about marigolds? Do they keep away some insects?

True. And if they don't drown, they'll be too hung over to eat any of your veggies.

Nah, it is true, though. Probably better the easier it is for the slugs and snails to crawl in - i.e., think about making it as easy as possible for them to crawl in.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Taurus

It's important that you leave yourself plenty of room to manouvres during the weeks ahead, as Mercury turns retro today, especially when it comes to making decisions and airing your opinions to the world. You need to be as flexible as possible right now, otherwise you could find that you've boxed yourself into a corner and have to do some serious back-tracking. You need to consider all points of view and not just your own.
