Wait popsicle sticks covered in Vicks? My tomato plants and I must know more!
— Dan Marek
Answer:
I don't know when the last time was that I used Vix vapor rub and I buy the generic, uh, you know, from the local grocery, uh, local grocery store or pharmacy, and you just take the sticks and slather it on each side and stick it in and, uh, no one comes near it. And then I'll go out a week later and put a little bit more on, or you can put, uh, little bowls of vinegar, uh, in the garden and no one seems to like vinegar either. So, uh, and no one has a cold either, Dan, sorry, that's my bad joke. Uh, but it really does work. You'll have to try it and, um, let me know how it works for you.
