Hi Mike, I am only advising that you are allowing a plant to manage parts of your garden. Admit it. And it could be removing valuable soil nutrients. Remember the lady who swallowed the spider to catch the fly? The white fly. It is not native to your part of the world. It is native to the mediterranean. Globalization. Also your turkey wire is probably galvanized with zinc, a heavy metal. I thought you would appreciate knowing. Don't shoot the messenger. What else do you grow besides Nicandra? Karen

But man is part of nature and his war is inevitably a war against himself" Rachel Carson _______________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
