Hi All,
Went out after dark to look at my sprouting pots. I got earwigs! And if I am not mistaken, they are munching away on my children. I sprayed them with chrysanthemum.
How do I get rid of these pests!

That just tells me earwigs like damp conditions. And, I need damp for my sprouting cups.
I also noticed that one of my mature hollyhocks had all kinds of holes in its leaves and wasn't doing too well. When I shined the flash light on it, it was swarming with earwigs. I killed all I could find with chrysanthemum spray. And that guy loves dry conditions.
I sprinkled a bit of garlic power on my sprouting cups to see if that would help. No results in yet, but they sure do smell nice.
