Yes, I've heard of Ladybug and Sustane/you mention them frequently. Houston has "Microlife". Regarding the Garden-Ville product: 1. What is it about the creator? 2. What were the results of using the product?

Yes, Ive heard of Ladybug/Sustane - you refer to them a lot. Houston has "Microlife". Reagarding the Garden-Ville products: 1. What is it about the creator? 2. What was your experience with the Garden-Ville products?

I bought a few bags of Garden-ville potting soil and it darn near killed my plants. It was too hot, I think - and it retained too much water, so they were wet all the time - even in Austin! I left the second bag in the garage, where my dog tore it up (my faux pas!) - and she had cruddy eyes for a week! I have no idea who the creator is, and have no private interest in any nursery here - just a consumer. -- L.A. Rizzo "Gig 'Em Aggies!"
