They are in all my pots , they all are around 2-5 weeks from harvest . I dont notice a difference in growth, but if they are eating the roots im ready to destroy them. Next round probably hit em with azamax . U think it might work?

I get them. I can't say I've had enough of them to notice them causing damage to my plants, but I still squish them whenever I find them just because I know they're up to no good, ha ha. You could try watering in some neem and Dr. Bronner's or something similar. I read they don't like lemon so maybe adding some lemon essential oil could help too. And just from looking it up, you can order milky spore or beneficial nematodes that feed on grub worms. I'd think Azamax would be worth a shot too.

Rik, do you know of anywhere that will ship biologicals here? I was under the impression it was prohibited by Dept. of Ag and we cant even bring worms or ladybugs in. I get those grubs in my compost pilesand just feed them to my chickens, they love em. Never had an issue with them in my containers. I think they are some kind of beetle larvae.

anyone growing indoors?
I have a bunch of random freebies from nirvana and would like to grow a few in the back yard next year

Good point waterproof, I forgot about that. I have had soil and leaf microbes (bacterial and fungal) shipped here and there's fertilizers that have soil microbes that can get shipped here too, but I haven't tried to shipped bugs or nematodes. At least with the stuff I've tried it hasn't been hard finding a company to ship it here. One company I get stuff from can't ship it here, but one of their distributors will.
I know companies have a hard time getting stuff shipped in. My local grow shop was getting Down-to-Earth Bio-Live shipped in until the Dept. of Ag caught them and just told them to stop. The bakatare thing is the Down to Earth rep told the shop owner that the Dept of Forestry orders pallets of the stuff so it didn't make sense to him. Probably one of those "do as I say, not as I do" things our government gets away with. You can order Bio-Live yourself though for as cheap as you could buy it in the store probably (if it was possible).
If you want to know where to get some good microbes you can PM me and if I find a place for predator bugs/bacteria/fungus I'll let you know.

Most everything? Ha ha. Hopefully the weather is decent for your vacation. We've had variable winds the past few days so it makes for unpredictable weather (on Maui anyway). Fortunately if it's raining on one side of the island you can drive to the other side for the day if you want so it's a good excuse to explore.

Hey aloha partcipant! There's a couple guys on here who grow indoors. Outdoor is more common though with the good year-round weather and high price of power.
Hey you.
It's nice though I like the clouds. It's humid here for a guy from the desert .
Tried to get the wife to agree to come over but the tent thing squashed it with her anyways at least. Once we got our toy hauler she won't tent camp anymore . I should of never got the damn thing. So not sure if I will make it over . If i do I need a rental car ?
Most....... everything. ... ? Lol
Kids bringing me a eighth today so we'll see .....lol
It's all good . Lots of window shopping to do today .

Easier to outdoor on the outer islands, a bit more crowded on oahu. Sky high electric makes me want to move outside.
I could grow a couple in the back yard, if i can keep them under 6 foot and not burn them from the blazing hot sun
