Let me rephrase that. I have no confidence in being able to identify a broodless period or indeed whether one will occur: there seem to be a lot of views on that here, and as a newbie I am really not confident in it. So when Swarm and Goran say oxalic rather than f^rting about, I hear, but oxalic may be ineffective as well and I really do not feel ready to grub around sacrificing brood in January.I seem to have missed out on the rationale for that.
