Grrr
Bought lettuce at Supermarket cheap! \o/ $.98 for Endive that looked FRESH!
... Brought it home, put away everything else, got the lettuce.... cut it... BUGS! *whimpers* So many itty bitty tiny black bugs.
Tried to rinse it, it did not help. Tried to drown the bugs, DID NOT HELP! Used my google fu to find out what the bugs were (the lettuce is for Cas, so don't want anything that could end up breeding in the tank and HARM him). Could not find this, but did find a way to rid the lettuce of the bugs - VINEGAR + water.
*nods* Think it has done the trick. Only a bit of sand left in the water.
But, omg! So much wasted water. We're in a drought! I feel so badly now...
Been watching Cold Front come through Melbourne. No thunderstorm, it seems. But plenty of rain. :)
ETA: Grrr. Bugs not gone. I choose to pretend that they are. I think they are aphids, or, at least some of them are. I rather suspect that common bugs shan't harm Cas :) He's a strong one! :)
