Catbuds,

I estimate electricity cost because of the actual charge they have for electricity per kwh - not the bill. Heck, the bill for now goes to my parents and we pay them back from there! And with how much we have to run the air/heat at our place, $10~ more per month doesn't affect it much. (husband's pain is greatly increased with high or low temps...) Also, we do get a larger bill every few months because our gas is from the same company but is only quarterly for some odd reason. But, as we're dealing with just my income, my parents are helping us with a few basic bills when needed right now too - until disability starts, at least, which could be another 5-12 months...


Also, getting mosquito dunks tomorrow I think instead of the DE. I'll do DE for each soil set in the future, but the dunks should kill those larva for me and a vac plus fly strips should get the adults. *sigh* yay for Walmart being right near my work! I'll check to see if they have any decent ferts too (depending on the store, you can find some odd good items too! Found some really good things for the outside garden in the past, so you never know).
