My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

bugs in soil (centipedes)

13 years ago

I am currently re potting my Meyer and I found centipedes in the soil, How do I get rid of these? Let dry out more, or some treatment?

The soil was compacted but a very gritty course mix that drains instantly when I water. My new soil mix is close to the same textures.
