Shopping for a water softener: 1  Salt-based units need to have the salt replenished on a regular basis, usually at a cost of anywhere from $2-$15 a month depending on the cost of the salt ($3-$8 per 40-pound bag) and the amount of salt used by your system.
Milkweed is the common name for perennial, herbaceous plants of genus Asclepias, family Asclepiadaceae (from Greek physician Asclepius). One hundred species occur worldwide; 13 are native to Canada.
There are two types of Milkweed Bugs that love to hang out on the Milkweed plants: the Large Large Milkweed Bug (let's call it the LMB for short) and the Small Milkweed Bug (we'll call that one the SMB for short). Both feed on the seeds of the Milkweed plants.ecause the Milkweed Bugs feed on Milkweed, these insects are fairly safe from predators. Why? Just like the Monarch butterfly, whose larvae feed on Milkweed, which makes the adult also safe from most predators, the chemicals in the Milkweed latex (sap) is toxic.
