I admit it -- I'm a mum murderer.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm not trying to harm them, They just die.

When I go to recycle the soil, I find those horrid little earwigs. Could they be killing my mums? I never find earwigs anywhere else but in the mum pots.

Eeeew!

And the slugs, now that the weather is wetter, are marching across the concrete pad outside my back door. They are disgusting, about 8 inches long some of them, spotted, and... well... nasty!

Love in Christ,
Janie

Earwigs are so gross - I hate those things! I think those spotted slugs are kinda cool looking, but I don't like getting slimed! About the earwigs, though, here's some info for you from the OSU extension: http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~ohioline/hyg-fact/2000/2068.html and http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2151.html

Ohioline is an awesome site, if you just want to browse around. Has everything from home economics to forestry management to gardening... http://www.ohioline.osu.edu
