Dill is a wonderful attractor of beneficials, but in order to cover the
season, you need a variety of "good gal" supporters - that is why I
recommended the Good Bug Blend, however some of those ARE perennials.
Speaking of ATTRA, anyone interested in a lot of good free info on
attracting the bene bugs should check out the link from ATTRA on

Lucy, you have a bunch of practical ideas!
Gosh Marlin, ouch [about the commercial chicken manure]! It sure gives
me some food for thought about utilizing regular commercial farm manure
or compost unless I can get an analysis of it. Sodium is not usually a
problem out east.
Currently, I'm getting my Persimmons and Paw Paws planted.
