Conrolling White Fly - by Vienne Felix

I want to share that I am having excellent luck in controlling white fly with capsaisin. Three drops of capsaisin to a cup of water with a little (1/2 tsp) of dishwasher detergent (sticky but less foaming) in a small sprayer for houseplants. I've been at war with white fly over possession of a tall basil plant that is wintering indoors and I am winning by spraying this mixture lightly on the basil and its soil every day or two. You can't hang out near it for 20 minutes or so because the atomized capsaisin will make you cough. This seems to work on fruit flies, too.

How to Create a Purifying Bath

The practice of purifying baths is thousands of years old. We don't know then this practice began, but cultures and religions around the world still use purifying baths. It isn't necessary to travel to some exotic location or to be dunked in the local river or baptistery. You can make your own purifying bath right at home.
