That makes sense. Thx for the tip ! 

Does anyone have any ideas about how to neutralizing the typical clove aroma and flavor ?  I only want it to be LESS dominant in my powder mix.  Sugar ? Lemon ?  Thx. 

Thanks Trident,  I made a little video of the balcony plants a few weeks ago.  So far so good ! 

The aphids are GONE, GONE, GONE ! Hooray for the ladybug larvae !  This is the first 7-pot yellow / Butch T pod.   3d generation. 

Fruit juices also allow one to mix and create or experiment with an almost infinite number of flavor combinations more easily without ruining a whole bunch of fresh fruit.   

THIS ^^   I use "Silver Swan" brand cane vinegar mixed with apple cider vinegar 50-50.   

Good deal !  Each larvae will eat about 80 aphids per day ! 

Hi dday,  I get them online from a small Dutch company whose name translates as "red with black dots".  http://www.roodmetzwartestippen.nl/a-25340880/bladluizen/30-larven-van-lieveheersbeestje-tegen-bladluis/ Okay, they are a little bit pricey, but I must say it was worth it. I am extremely...

I'm cloning THAI BASIL. You don't even need clonex or another root growth hormone to clone Thai basil. 

The plants will try to cool themselves off by perspiring. Just like people do in the heat.  But when there is no moisture in the ground, the leaves will become floppy and eventually wilted.  The conditions you described sound stressful to your plants.  Good luck !   

Assuming you mean "greenhouse" instead of "balcony"  :  40 Celsius is much too hot !  I would water them more.   

You can buy the Suri sambal ready made overhere, too. But making your own is much better, It's super easy, plus allows you to make it mo hotta. 

Picalilly in jars is widely available on this end... It's made of pickles (note : European pickles are NOT NEARLY as salty as dill pickles sold in the US but MUCH sweeter), pickled baby onions, cauliflower, mustard and vinegar.
