November Program This is a wreath and swag workshop! Cheryl Arney will bring wreath making equipment, rings, pruners, rubber bands, wire, scissors, vinyl gloves and greens. She recommends that you bring additional greens or other items that you would like to add to your wreath or swag. Bring your items in five gallon buckets. This keeps it neat and easy to select items. Cheryl says the more variety the better! The results will last through the holidays and later.
Griswold’s Nursery sent a DVD about Bill Griswold so you will be able to see in living color what his hybrids look like at the November meeting.
Basic Facts About Talstar Insecticide
Talstar is a synthetic pyrethroid that is available in both granular and liquid concentrate forms. When label instructions are followed, it is very safe towards non-target animals such as birds, reptiles and mammals. Talstar lasts much longer than organophosphate pesticides such as Dursban, Diazinon, Malathion and Acephate. We have had many reported cases of Talstar controlling molecrickets and small flies for up to two months, chinch bugs, ants and fire ants for three months! Only 1 or 2 applications are needed each year for mole crickets. No special site preparation is needed when treating for mole crickets with Talstar. Talstar is very effective in controlling Asian Cockroaches, Clover Mites, ants, fleas, chinch bugs and other turf and ornamental pests. Talstar products cannot be shipped to MA, NY, NJ, CT, VT, HI, CA, AK
Jerry Rock adds one to two tablespoons of granular Talstar every time his plants a new Rhody. |
