Tip of the Month

Put some water in a white dinner plate and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent; Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area; Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, or what, but mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture, and usually within about 10 feet of the plate.

 We’d love to hear your tips!  Send in your favorite tricks in the garden to share and we will choose one to feature each month.  So what’s in it for you?  We’ll send you a www.GardenStops.com t-shirt!
