Saturday, Saturday, Saturday ... and there's sunshine!!! ☀ ☀ ☀
Friday, Friday, Friday came and went in a pouring rain fashion ... extreme zedding was the order of the day ... accompanied by strange dreams of a zombie Beyonce with an enormous bottom, frog hopping all over a beach. Go figure!? 🤷♂️
My lovely oversized Medusa (Kalanchoe) got nobbled by the mice, so I've replaced her with another Geranium and some Lavender (mice do not like to eat either of these, fingers crossed 🤞). Not that Medusa has completely ceased to exist ... but she's certainly had a severe 'haircut' and I'm trying to protect her new bits of growth from marauding slugs.
As to the yellow 'insect trap' ... I couldn't resist the colour. Gorgeous in the sunlight! A hideous invention, but beautifully shaped. Methinks an oversized version should be created in order to trap less than pleasant hoomans ... but what to lace it with? Beer and pasties? Caviar and champagne? Any suggestions??? ;-)
Now ... I'm off to the garage and the usual newspaper and Groundhog Day TV Guide :-) ...

Insect control is the biggest challenge in agriculture. It is a common practice to use a deadly chemical pesticide to protect the crop from pest damage. There are many side effects of using a chemical. Use of more pesticide results in financial burden to the farmers. Moreover, the food becomes contaminated. In organic and integrated farming by using environment friendly automated solar powered insect trap, pest can be brought under control effectively. Solar trap is very simple in construction and use. On the four legged stand about five foot height , the solar lamp strips are mounted powered by battery. A basin is placed below the lamp to collect the insects. The basin can be tilted with the help of motor driven by battery. To refill the basin with the water the solar trap is fitted with a pump. During the evening when the harmful pests hovers the crop fields, the solar lamp will switch on automatically and attracts the insects that may destroy the crops. Attracted insects end up in a water filled basin. Water can be mixed with soap oil or shampoo to prevent the insects escaping from the basin. Every day, basin full of insects can be trapped. Farmers job is to switch on the motor that tilt the basin to empty the trapped insects and refill the water to basin with the help of pump every day. One Solar Trap is enough for one acre farming field. Another specialty of the machine is that it can be shipped anywhere without much difficulty. The Solar Trap can be used in various crops fields such as vegetables, pomegranates, grapes, cucumber, nut, coconut, paddy, sugarcane etc.
