Go my little minions
Being able to actively see these little predator assassins take out the thrip problem in my garden is beautiful. I used the paper packets last time and didn't realize how quickly they degraded after watering. The little plastic packets are perfect.
I especially appreciate the help from Urban Grow, who were super communicative about shipping times, and let me add more to my order <3
