Sod webworm caterpillars build their webs in the layer of dry thatch that forms between grass and the earth. Most light to moderate infestations of sod webworms can be managed by irrigation of the turf. How often you water your grass will depend on the climate where you live. However, if the weather is hot and dry, you may need to water your lawn for as much as an hour a day. Endophytes are a special kind of fungi that live in grass. They are usually not harmful, but they can repel insects such as sod webworms. Just sprinkle the seeds into your existing grass and water the area until the grass takes root. You can buy this special grass seed at most garden supply stores. Follow all label instructions, especially if you have livestock which will be eating the grass. Excessive consumption of endophytes can be harmful to certain animals. to consume sod webworm. Nematodes are an organic solution to getting rid of sod webworm caterpillars. These tiny organisms use the caterpillars as a host, leading to their death. All you have to do is sprinkle them into the grass near the affected areas. You can purchase beneficial nematodes from specialty garden centers. However, be sure to check the expiration date, as nematodes have a very short shelf life. If you are noticing extensive grass damage, you may need to use an insecticide. Effective insecticides include those containing acephate, bendiocarb, or carbaryl. Watering the grass before you apply an insecticide will help the chemicals penetrate the grass better. It will also force the caterpillars to the surface of the grass. You can use either a spray or a granular insecticide. If you use a spray solution, apply at least 1525 gallons (5795L) of insecticide for every 1,000 square feet (93m2) of grass. If you use a granular insecticide, apply it with a fertilizer spreader. Follow the label's irrigation instructions: usually granular insecticides are followed by about an hour of watering to ensure the granules get down into the turf.

Summary: Water your lawn regularly. Spread endophyte-enhanced turfgrass seed on your lawn. Spread the nematodes Steinernema spp. Apply an insecticide in the early evening to treat a severe infestation.

High-starch potatoes (like russets and most sweet potatoes, including the jewel yam) are highly absorbent with a light, fluffy texture. Medium-starch or all-purpose potatoes (such as Yukon Gold, red gold, white, blue, and purple potatoes) have more moisture than high-starch potatoes and are less likely to fall apart. Potatoes should feel firm and heavy. Look out for green spots, wrinkles, sprouts, blemishes and soft spots--these are signs of a bad or bitter potato. If you are using potatoes you already have at home and discover a green spot, make sure you chop it off an discard it. The green parts of a potato are mildly poisonous and will upset your stomach. Store your potatoes in a cool, dry space. Try not to store them anywhere too cold (like the refrigerator), as the starches will begin turning into sugar, which will alter the taste. Potatoes grow in the dirt and, though they are rinsed before you buy them, dirt may still be hiding in the little dimples (or "eyes") on the potato. Don't scrub so hard that the skin begins to peel off. Be gentle with your potato. Even organic foods are treated with pesticides, so be on the safe side and make sure you're washing all your organic produce, too. You don't need to use a special solution of veggie wash to clean the potato--running water should do the job. This will give you six wedges per potato. Try to cut the wedges into equal sizes so they all bake at the same rate. If you have a mixture of thick and thin wedges, the thin ones may burn while you wait for the thick wedges to bake all the way through. Six wedges per-potato should give you a thick, but not too thick, slice. If wedges are any thicker, they may be crispy and gold on the outside, but completely underdone inside. If you are not baking the potato wedges right away (if you have to prep the rest of your meal or wait for the oven to preheat), put them in a bowl of cold water with a squirt of lemon juice or vinegar. This will prevent discoloration. Don't let the potatoes soak in the bowl for longer than two hours--the potatoes will absorb the water and may begin to lose some of their vitamins. You may peel the potatoes before slicing if you don't want to eat the skin, but they may not hold their shape as well when you bake them. The skins are more vitamin-rich than the flesh, so the potato would lose some of its nutritional value without it. The oil will help the spices stick to the potatoes. Make sure the spices and oil are distributed evenly and your wedges are fully coated. Make sure your hands are clean before handling the food. If you want to add additional flavors--like minced garlic, chopped rosemary leaves, spicy cumin, or thyme--add it to the bowl and mix with the rest of the ingredients.

Summary: Choose a firm, high or medium starch potato. Scrub the potatoes with cool water and a vegetable brush. Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then cut those halves into thirds. Put sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, and oil in a large bowl and toss with your hands.
