Hello, Would an application of Neem oils during winter (December thru March as a dormant oil) on days above freezing temperatures be appropriate? White flies have invested my garden especially in Hellabore and Western Sword fern beds. Applications of castile liquid soap sprays in the evening and cutting back all ferns to the ground last February didn't slow down the infestation. I had hoped the soaps would clean off active insects. What can be done before next spring's growth of plants and insect population, and during the growth season? The property is in an active watershed full of native birds, wild bee populations, and other beneficial insects, and native frogs, and which need protection from anything toxic. Thank you.

It eats the bird balls left in a feeder, the plastic meshing is cut through Answered OUTSIDEUS 2 days ago wondering if my home canned pickles are safe to eat Hello! I used a boiling brine of 1 gallon water, 1 quart vinegar and 1 c. salt. All the jars sealed but I did push down some of the lids while the jars were still hot. Also, since the brine was at a rolling boil, there shouldn't be any sediment at the bottom, but there is. Is this a bad sign? Also, do I just cut off the part of the pickle that is floating above the brine? I appreciate your time and expertise.
