I find violets to be... fussy. I've given up on houseplants here. Just not enough natural light and I like lower electric bills than grow lights would allow. I make up for it outside though! I am ending up with a garden any zombie apocalypse prepper would covet!

Oh... forgot the reason I came here:

Six chicks eating breakfast!!!!

And The Works sprayed on bindweed seems to be highly effective! Sprayed some yesterday to test. Once again, I'd post pics, but this site hates me.

Can you mix the Works in water and put it in a sprayer? Or do you have to use it full strength?

 

[OverEggstended]

Either, but I see no benefit to diluting it. Dilute it enough and you run the risk of turning it into fertilizer that your azaleas will love! Lol

It's cheap, easy, and less harmful than any actual weed killer.... so not sure why you want to dilute it. Was there something about it that worried you?

And before you kill off all the bindweed:

As bindweed flowers can kill off both ecoli and a crapload of salmonella strains, I may harvest them to add to chicken mash once a week. I'm kinda OCD on coop cleaning and never had a single problem, but augmenting that plan is an appealing idea.

The website says that bindweed sucks up harmful chemicals from the land and helps make it fertile! Maybe that's why sometimes the dirt in the ground is better at growing vegetables than our planter bed mixture >_>

I could try blending it and feeding it to the girls but I'm not so sure I'm ready to eat it XD.

I am debating taking the babies out for just 20 min or so of sun. If I had not lost 2 for no reason, this would be a non-issue.
