client who spent some sessions with Borgogna on the telephone said life coaching has made a difference for her When she started her sessions Chris said she knew something was wrong and she thought it was her job But her coaching sessions helped her understand that she had become up in her work that it crowded out everything else in her life “I was just so focused on my job that I ended up haling it" she said When she began giving herself a life outside the workplace she found herself liking work more She has the same job today she said and she’s happier there Both Chris and Borgogna agree that life coaching is not therapy Chris said she has tried therapy and she likes life coaching better Her experience with therapy was too hogged down in blaming other people for whatever was wrong in her life she said Life coaching put the responsibility on her to make things better and helped her to move forward Borgogna asserted that life coaching is not consulting either since consultants give answers to the people they counsel In Chris's experience the answers had to come from her the ridget Borgogna Joins staff' Mandy Hoth has joined the staff at The Rutting Edge in Logan Mandy graduated

the house a few problems may grow as well When plants don’t thrive indoors and problems begin to appear indoor gardeners become disheartened However most problems with indoor plants are easily remedied Mast plant diseases on indoor plants occur when they are grown in a humid environment This generally isn’t a problem in Utah because the humidity in most homes and offices heated with a forced air furnace is quite low It’s possible that powdeiy mildew could develop on plants that are placed in the kitchen or bath- room where periods of high humidity are common but this is uncommon There is the possibility that plants brought from the garden may have a soil borne disease that affects the root system which is easy to reme- dy However plants brought indoors usually don’t have a root disease but may have an associated problem present in the soil A little critter that flits around gnats may occasionally transmit several plant diseases So when you find a fungus gnat walking around the edge of your cup as you're about to take a drink what do you do? First don’t over water your plants The majority of house-plan- ts need to dry out somewhat between watering anyway and the decreased moisture reduces fungus growth Putting mixes make a difference too A fresh potting mix high in compost or peat moss is more attractive to fungus gnats that a mix in which organic material is largely decomposed Plants brought in from the patio may be infested with eggs and larvae Ideally these pots are treated before bringing them inside Drenching indoor plants with a solution of Bt (bacillus thuringiensis for three weeks is a good routine control for fungus gnats Gna-tr- ol and Knock-OGnats from Gardens Alive are two products that contain the strain of Bt most effective on these pests This “organic” pesticide is ingested by the larvae form of the insect and is only effective at that stage ' Adults are attracted to the color yellow To monitor the effectiveness houscplants your fruit bowl and your nose may come from garden soil into the home This small dark gray fly called a fungus gnat seems to come from nowhere and is about 18 inch long They are attracted to (imagine this) fungus When plants are watered generously and kept somewhat humid fungus grows in potting soil rich in oiganic matter Often mistaken for fruit flies the flock to damp indoor pots and inats 200-plu- s eggs in the decomposing oiganic material Small white larvae feed on soil fungi 4 days before developing into adult flics The larvae feed on plant roots as well as fungi and in large numbers may cause plants to decline Adult fungus gnats are primarily a nuisance though new research has pointed to them as disease carriers A doctoral candidate from University of Georgia says that adult fuiigus H-1- 4) 10-1- ut I! a- t et — y wi y of control measures yellow sticky traps or yellow paper painted with Tanglefoot can be placed near houseplantis Another possibility is to add a thin layer of sand to potted plants A half inch layer prevents development of the insect from egg to adult whether the eggs diy out or the adults are unable to emeige Either way the problem is usually eliminated The best way to eliminate a problem with fungus gnats or any other problem in houseplants is prevention Avoid overwatcring duplicate the native environment of the plant as much as passible — light fertility water and temperature Isolate newly purchased plants in case they are infested with gnalsor disease Observe the plants for several weeks before placing them in the same Finalvicinity as other houseplants ly treat pots coming in from the gar- den with a soil drench of Bt to eliminate the possible infestation of fungus gnats a Utah State University Extension agent specializing In horticulture She can be reached by email at toraliepOextusuedu Loralle Platero la A |
