So few things
1. Sign me up as a guinea pig
2. If there are any specific questions you guys have let me know. I am not an expert at all, but

a. I'm going on the DE Safari in 39 days and am happy to ask people there
b. After Safari I'm spending an extra 4 days in Nica with a friend who happens to own his own factory. I'll be taking some time to learn roll/more about the process while I'm there.

(If I may)
- I'd be interested in learning more about their drainage methods....
- acquisition of young seed from Nica
- not sure about the law regarding such- temperature variances (how long curing at specific temps) - this is well documented by some cigar makers, but I haven't been able to obtain first hand info from those doing the actual curing..
I'm not intending to hijack your thread Dave. Just curious about these things. I'll use PM for anything else (if that's ok dscl?)

Good for keeping ants and beetles away........ can be used to change soil pH..... as I understand it, not to be used directly on the plant however. Diatomaceous earth can also be used in a "ring" around the grow area, but again NOT on the plant.

i use very little in "grows" for home growing. I mix it in soiless mixes. Really good for adding to homemade compost. Dave gotta worry more about keeping those destroying machines he calls dogs from chewing up the crop lol
not a threadjack at all.. I appreciate you asking these sorts of questions and providing the information you have so far.... thats exactly the intent of this thread.. we're looking for help!
all recommendations, suggestions, thoughts, opinions, etc.. are welcomed (and encouraged!)

I just put in a 4' picket fence around the garden area a couple of weekends ago lol... they went straight for it and started trying to chew down the fence posts.. but didnt get too far after I doused them in Marie's Habanero Sauce real good (I guess they dont care much for the heat
)....the cedar planter boxes we tried last year didnt work at all... after they ate everything in the garden (actually consumed everything from squash and zucchini to tomato plants and cilantro..).. they pulled up the planter boxes and ate the cedar planks..
Im hoping hot sauce doused 4x4's set 36" into the ground with concrete keeps them out this year (still not completely convinced though... sigh...)...
