Worms in Potted Plants
Worms often give trouble in potted plants. To get rid of them stand the
pots nearly rim deep in lime water once each week for three weeks. Make
this solution by slaking five pounds of quick lime in three gallons
of water, applying the water a little at a time till the mass becomes crumbly
and finally creamy, then adding the balance of the water and stirring for
several minutes. Allow the sediment to settle overnight. Finally, decant
the clear liquid into a wooden tub for use. The solution may be used
over and over, provided there is enough of it.
