I may have given the wrong impression with the statement "doing battle with spiders." I too like looking at them and don't mind them being around, but I don't like having to move multiple webs each time I go out to pick and I don't really like finding 2" hitchhikers. This is what I mean by "doing battle." The big spider population has been higher than normal this year and I am ready to part with our daily interactions. - mac

I love spiders also, but it is NOT fun when first thing in the morning you walk into a web going out to the greenhouse. I would never advocate killing them however. We have this 2 inch spider crisscrossing our front deck every morning. I do have black windows and brown recluse in the greenhouse, but we co-exist quite nicely.

This has been a fun string to read. A big thanks to everyone who has chimed in. Anyone else really tired of pulling weeds, fighting spiders and moving trays of veggies?
Why fight the spiders? They're beneficials.
The slugs, now . . .
