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.

Hosta eating bugs

13 years ago

HI!

I am new to this forum and am curious about what the heck is eating my hostas. I have done the usual organic plant eating cures and even some commercial ones. They are not the typical slug holes and black spots. But this year has also been a lousy year for our gardens here in the NW. Too hot and far too dry.

Any advice for this old gardener would be great!
