Be Careful What you Ask For..

Well you know what they say, be careful what you ask for.  Someone must not have liked the "plague joke" on my last post because I woke up this morning to APHIDS!


Little green bugs all over my flowers and leaves, with teeny white larvae dusted as far as the eye could see.  I'm not sure how the Mater Master and Mater Matic did it - was it dancing or chanting?  But boy they did it to me real good.  

After a trip to the Mater ER I came home to battle.  A bottle of "au natural" African Violet extract - or something like that - killed the little punks dead!  Ain't no pests coming between me and my beer!

Manual Mater Maker Disclaimer:  We at the Manual Mater Maker sincerely apologize for the taunts of plagues and windstorms in our last post; we underestimated your supernatural powers to summon mater killers.  Please call off tomorrow's order of locusts.

Sorry to hear about the infestation of mater haters. Yes, I thought about using some underhanded behavior to bring your maters to their knees but then I reconsidered. Won't be fair and I'm getting this beer fair and square. After all, I'm the only one in the race with worm poop. What more do I need. So there is no order in for the locusts, only the continuous coaching I give to my maters to show what they can do. (By the way, a couple of squirts of worm compost tea in their little mater faces keeps the aphids away. Good luck on the bug killings.
