Bry, Perhaps you should do your own research before debunking that of others.( (Week of June 29, 2002;Vol. 161, No. 26)Mortality rate at 55% in concentrations as low as .5% (one-half percent).Repellent at .1%. As long as they are gone, I don't care whether they diedor whether they simply moved to friendlier soil so I won't debate youabout what my final application rate was. The stuff is deadly in theconcentrations normal for NoDoze.I broadcast fresh grounds at about twice the rate I would apply fertilizerto my lawn. I had hoped to give folks a better number to work with by now,but the stuff works so well, there hasn't been much reason to re-applyit.My best guess as to an application rate would be about 1# per 100 sq ft. Ihave 280 sq ft (I garden in raised boxes so I have a pretty good handle onmy sq footage) and I get almost two applications from a 5# can.Okay ... you've got the research links. Debate _them_ if you want. I'veprovided my proofs and won't waste more time defending what I KNOW (fromresearch and direct personal experience) to be true with someone who hasdone neither the research nor the actual experimentation.Bry, I think the Brits on this list are well able to clue you in about teaand caffeine and Queen Victoria. That they haven't already is a testamentto their generally good manner. However, as a 51 year old American, I canassure you that my mother was not a "Victorian" woman.Nonetheless, I didn't get this recipe from her -- I got it from theresearch conducted at the University of Hawaii that was published in Juneof 2002.You are guessing. I am speaking from experience. Have a nice day.Bill

What are you talking about? Some context might help.

Oh really?

I wish you wouldn't. You're a very calm, sane voice that skews the noise/signal ratio to the good side. I don't get to post as much as I would like, but I always enjoy your posts.

And I liked your passionate defense. I've had entire posts of mine from another froup lifted and presented as someone else's. That's just so tacky!
