It does indeed. I used a covered cream cheese container for the mix. I'm waiting on the rain letting up a bit as we've had torrential downpours the last three days. 116 mm in three days. The last container floated off in the flood.

I'm also going to use another systemic method of pest removal. Knowing of the smokers in the area I have saved the butts and am stewing a nicotine "tea". I'll be pouring it around the roots of the plant. I've used this in the past to deal with aphids on my roses. It's not harmful to the plants but the bugs biting them don't like the flavor.
