Pest Control

Benidicto's area of responsibility at the garden in Lusangazi, is pest control.
We do all our pest control with things we grow, like sage, mint, camomile, marigold, dalhia and in fact we try anything with a smell. Our new weapon, especially for caterpillar, seen in the bucket on the left, in the leaf of the tephrosia plant, which we also use as green manure. Tobacco leaf is a favourite weapon in the war!!
Benidicto is a serious researcher, doing controls, using various concentrations and keeping copious notes. All brews are used with a soap solution to eliminate surface tension.
Benidicto has no second level education, but is a leading-edge scientist.
The lab is a little rough, but we will improve that.

On a personal note: Had an op on my hand at 4pm, full anaesthetic, home at 8.30, feeling a bit woozy and sore, but at least it's all over. Hurray!!!!
Carried out by a plastic surgeon, past pupil of mine, Eamon Beausang. Great to know that he was one of the brightest: Thanks Eamon
