Re: [aroid-l] ( Aphids? on Titanum )

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at msn.com> on 2003.11.19 at 17:16:18(10839) Welcome back, Derek!! Have'nt had the mites, but BIG palm-weevil larvae, deep fried are GOOD! I also wanted to give a recipe or two for green iguanas (stewed in port wine, or curried) to the folk at Fairchild Gardens in Miami, where they are BIG and have become a very common pest in the gardens, but they declined. Just get a few W.Indian gardeners, that will do the trick, they also control armadillos. Be well, Julius +More Julius>>Hmmm. Deep-fried spider mites could be the solution to the world's hunger problem. I wonder if Julius has tried them in cornflour. Perhaps a good beer batter.

Great method! Works on aphids also.
