    Biological Brews

    TBH that makes little sense. The material is diatomaceous earth. It's not a poison or conventional insecticide and does not kill soil microbes. It works by virtue of its high content of microscopic diatom bodies, comprising very hard and sharp silica. This traps in the joints of an insect pest's...

    What’s the most you have ever Won?

    Couple of wine bottles once in a blue moon. Best though was a win of two tickets on the Herald of Free Enterprise to Zeebrugge. Won at a Cubs raffle in I think 1986. No one else interested to go - Never got used :oops: .
