    Berghill - have ordered Vine Weevil Killer 2 from Amazon last night- - - - maybe a new formula?

    How very odd, when I looked for it I found that it was not available. There was talk of banning it as the active ingredient, even in the new stuff, is deadly to bees. Even the pollen of treated plants is bad for them.

    Thanks. My Auriculas will be grateful to you!

    I saw that too, Berghill but I've ordered the liquid concentrate.   I have so many heucheras that I would hate to lose them.

    Just ordered some , but not from Amazon itself via the Amazon site. Not mad keen on using insecticides, but the Auriculas are a bit expensive to replace and VERY prone to infection even when using a non-peat based compost.

    Gave up on Heuchera a few years back. Just about given up on my beloved Geums too.

    The sooner this fungus which kills the grubs becomes readily available the better. On sale now to professionals, but only in large amounts and with a short shelf life after opening.
