Picture of older peppers hardening off...Red Savina against wall on right, contest Nagas in front of them...three little marbles in front, cutback orange hab on left and 2 little elfs behind the hab almost top center. Pam, you asked what color brick was on our house....in the first picture you can see the brick.

Andy

I had heard that this doesn't actually work. (from a copuple of people actually). Anyone else hear of this not working?
 
well i work in a greenhouse and we plant mums for all the major holidays, and they seem to attract more aphid than almost any other plant we grow. so i guess if your plan is to attract them to the mum and keep them from the peppers it might work. personally i'd keep it away from the plants for fear of actually attracting them. then again the aphid on the mums are almost always black in color, while the ones that go after vegetables tend to be green; i don't know if they're an entire different type or what.

Do you just set the plants in the cup holders into a tub of water to bottom water? And I've forgotten dont you use 9 oz cups as well? Just wondering how well that works opposed to top watering, I may have to give it a try.

And the space, and the money, and the carpentry know how, and the wiring know how, and the power tools...



Sez she who has some power tools but nothing else.
 
The cup holders I have built allow me to place a 9 oz cup in 2 1/2" diameter holes that have been drilled in the holder. With 2 1/2" legs, about 1/4" is left between the watering container bottom and the bottom of the cup.

I'm sold on bottom watering...easy to do, no mess, no fuss...pour water in a container and watch the cups soak it up....here again, this is advice I have received on the forum....

My plants seem to be happy at this point in time...
