This message is from: Cynthia Madden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am afraid to use the wasps because all my facilities are open and we have almost a constant wind that will just blow the tiny insects away. This year, for the first time, I am going to try diatomaceous earth. I can buy it in 50 lbs. bags. I will just add it to their beet pulp.
Below are instructions for using it from CD-L member, Satin. You buy FOOD grade and not the agricultural stuff. Feed 5 oz a day (I guesstimate by using a Strongid C2X measuring cup, full and rounded, in each feeding) and you feed it wet to keep them from breathing it. If anyone has any other ideas about using it or quantity to feed, I would be glad to hear them. BTW, Tank and I leave next Thursday for the AZ CDE. I think we are as ready as possible. We have been doing some good dressage work lately and he trotted for me for 38 minutes witout undue stress on Wednesday(we are doing the limited division). My only concern is Tank's lack of forwardness without constant encouragement. I am using sports pyschology on him and call him Champ all the time. ===== Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
