Hi All,

We had a thread a while back on suppliers of the polycarb. and glass panels,

etc.

needed for greenhouse construction, but I've managed to lose the copies. I'm

looking

for first rate materials to build a 16' x 58' glass or polycarbonate

greenhouse /

atrium on the back of a new home and all I can find is 4 Seasons who wants

approximately $50,000. for the job. I think that price is entirely out of

line but

can't find alternate suppliers yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim Sealy Jr.

On a related note.. to my last post, that is...

Paula, would you have any objection to me setting up an automated archive

system for

the list on my server? I could set up an email to web interface for the list

fairly

easily since I already archive several private (corporate) lists there. I have

plenty of spare space and bandwidth and it's on a well connected server at Pair

Networks.

Someone on this list suggested using molasses water as a bug repellent on

plants.  I have a problem with flea beetles on my eggplants in my outside

garden.   I didn't have any molasses, so I tried King Syrup and water.  The

next day I didn't have any fewer flea beetles, but I now had a whole bunch

of new insects all over the plants licking off the sweet King Syrup.  There

were all kinds of flies, ants, little wasps and bees.  This drove the flea

beetles nuts!.  lol  Have you ever watched a fly trying to lick off a flea

beetle?  rofl  The poor flea beetles got no peace.  The new growth on the

plants looks much better since the flea beetles could not be left alone to

even feed.  I wonder if this is how it works?  I'm not sure how well it

would work in a greenhouse where access to the plants by other insects would

be limited, but it works in an outdoor garden.

BTW, for those of you who may not be familiar with King Syrup, it is a

thick, dark corn syrup and sugar product.
