Has anyone had any success or other experiences using an artificial food supplement to keep beneficial insects on their plants? I will be releasing some adult lacewings into the garden this evening and plan to spray with the "Good Bug Chow" recipe from ghorganics. I'm wondering if anyone else has used this or a similar type of supplement ("wheast", "good bug food" etc) to keep the good bugs from dispersing from the garden.
