Wasps and hornets form a central part of the ecosystem but can be dangerous to have around a home. Both bugs sting when they think the nest is threatened and can attack and kill beneficial insects for gardens. When sharing a space with humans, they are a nuisance, and a potential major hazard to you and your guests when they’re present in the garden area. But what can be done to get rid of them? Glass Wasp Traps work pretty well at drawing wasps, yellowjackets, and hornets away and trapping them safely in a container where they can later be safely disposed.

How to Boost Your Yield Using Vermiculite and Perlite

Updated: October 18, 2018     Eric Clark

Vermiculite vs PerliteIt is not unusual to become confused between perlite and vermiculite when you go to the garden center or online to buy them. While they are both used as growing media, they have different roles to play. One (vermiculite) holds water well, and the other (perlite) does not, but is good at creating drainage and aerating the soil.

When it comes to horticultural uses, telling them apart is easy, because they look so completely different. Vermiculite is brown with a soft and spongy texture. Whereas Perlite is sold as tiny hard white balls, similar in appearance to tiny Styrofoam balls used for packaging.

Many hydroponic growers use both vermiculite and perlite as a growing media because it can be used effectively without soil.
