The Drain Buster... Unclogs Drains & Toilets BETTER & FASTER...
It's time to unleash the power... the power to blast away hair,
debris, grease, food and more from your sinks, toilets or bath-
tubs.
The powerful, pump-activated Drain Buster plunger blasts to
quickly unclog drains without using harmful chemicals. Comes
with 2 interchangeable heads that let you unclog any job.
Great for your home, office, RV or boat. And remember there's
no chemicals to damage your skin or clothing. Much more effective
than an old fashion plunger.
THE BEST PART IS THE SAVINGS... You can get The Drain Buster
for 1/2 of the TV price. But we won't stop there... need more
than one? Then your price goes down to $7.99 each. Check out

Tomato Hornworms
These distinctive creatures are masters of camouflage. The
four-inch larvae are stem green with seven or eight diagonal
white stripes down their sides. Each stripe is shadowed by a
row of black dots, and punctuated with a huge false eyespot
and black tail. They feed in the daytime, nibbling at fruit
and consuming tremendous quantities of leaves. Little
souvenirs similar in appearance to rabbit pellets are
sometimes left behind. Target plants include tomatoes,
peppers, potatoes, eggplant and dill.
Adult hornworms are huge grayish brown moths with wingspans
of up to five inches. They are also known as hawk or
hummingbird moths, and they are sometimes mistaken for
hummingbirds as they hover in front of flowers feeding on the
nectar at dusk. Wings are ornamented with a wavy line pattern
and the body is marked with orange spots. Pupae hibernate
underground in hard, two-inch cases shaped like spindles. Fall
tilling helps to destroy the pupae.
CONTROLS
Deterrent plants include borage, opal basil and marigolds.
Dill makes an excellent trap crop. The huge worms are easy to
spot on dill plants, and can then be handpicked. Handpicking
is the preferred method of control. Although they are huge,
they usually aren't numerous. A blast of cold water from the
hose will cause them to thrash about and make handpicking
easier. If you can't bear to handpick the worms (even with
gloves on) spray susceptible plants with Bt.

Nontoxic Slug Control
The best way to combat slugs is to understand their
lifecycle. Know thy enemy! Slugs themselves contain a high
percentage of water and will begin feeding as soon as soil
temperatures rise above 40 F (5 C), emerging from the soil
or from protected areas. Slugs prefer to forage at night or
on dull days when temperatures drop and the garden is damp.
Their gelatinous eggs, laid in clusters of 40-100, can be
found in the soil, under rocks and even in outdoor pots.
Learn to recognize them!

Bud Blast
Gardeners in warm, humid climates will soon be fighting bud
blast. If the buds on your flowers and fruits dry up and
fall off before they bloom, the fungus Botrytis is probably
the cause. The disease thrives in warm humid areas where air
circulation is poor. Here are some suggestions to help
combat bud blast:
- Remove all affected parts of the plant and destroy them.
- Clean up any debris that may have fallen around the plant.
- Remove old mulch.
- Space and prune plants so that there is plenty of room for
air to circulate.
- Spray with a fungicide.
