    How Can I Get Rid Of These Whiteflies?

    Actually I think you mean LadyBUGS and not Ladybirds. And yes, I did get 1500 of them and they did a FANTASTIC job. And then afterwards they fly around and land on you and I take them outside to the veggie garden.

    How Can I Get Rid Of These Whiteflies?

    Battery Backup for MH or HPS lights

    We have moments of no electricity and that throws everything out of whack. Have to reset all the clocks but the worst is having to worry about the lights. I am wondering if a standard UPS battery backup would work for a 400 or 1000 watt MH or HPS light. Being momentary, I would imagine it...

    Howdy from Florida

    Older guy here. Can't wait until FL will pass some decent legislation! You would think that with so many older folks with pains and all that they could pass some decent laws here. Grew up in the 60's and loved it! Smoking for 50 years now. 1st puff of the day is still the best. D
