Black spots on Pear Tree leaves
Comments (4)Yes, it's pear blister mite. I have it on both Asian and European pears. My Blake's Pride pear has gotten the worst of it. A fine forum contributor, Scott Smith, has advised me to use lime-sulphur spray right before bud break. I missed the opportunity, of course. Now that the leaves are full, too late to spray with lime-sulphur. With full leaves, I spray it with wettable sulfur. It helps but not as effective. I'll spray sulphur a few more times to help keep mites in check. I add sticker in the mix to help sulphur stay on leaves better. Spray underside of the leaves well, too. Next spring, I'll hit them with lime-sulphur at the right time. My tree just looks ugly but there is no real harm is done as far as I know....See MoreOrganic remedy for iris leaf spot?
Comments (3)Okay, so I'm impatient and found this online: If you want to use a non-chemical spray, the American Iris Society recommends the following: To a gallon of water, add three (3) tablespoons baking soda, two (2) tablespoons of shavings from a bar of Ivory soap, and one (1) tablespoon vegetable oil. Apply the spray to infected parts of the plant. This does prevent mildew, and may work on leaf spot as well. Prevention is the best cure, so if you are in a moisture prone area, to avoid fungal leaf spot it is best to plant irises in full sun, in a rich well drained soil, also try to select disease resistant varieties, and do not water with overhead watering systems (I use a weeping soaker type garden hose system)....See MoreNatural remedies for hot spot
Comments (32)My golden retriever Camden had anal gland issues where I was taking her to get them purged at the vet every 3 weeks…. Before learning to do it myself. Ewww. Ha! I started her on “Perfect Form” by honest kitchen - it’s a supplement powder you mix into her food. No more issues with her butt ever since! Highly recommend. She is 9 now and we’ve been using this powder since she was around 2. She has “loose” glands so the perfect form made her have to work just a little harder and squeeze her stool out which lets her purge her glands naturally and on her own now! Praise be! My other golden retriever Cara is 12 and has been battling some type of undiagnosed skin dermatitis/autoimmune disorder of some kind. Her belly area gets scaly and turns into open lesions. Started as dry skin about three years ago and then she lost her belly hair. We finally saw a dermatologist and her first thought was food allergies. We’ve switched her food a few times, tried elimination diets, and now have her on a hydrolyzed protein diet by Royal Canin. No real improvement yet so hopefully we can see what the dermatologist says at the follow up. It still may be environmental allergies however it seems unlikely since we have never moved. It’s been almost 8 weeks on the HP food. 8 is the minimum amount of time to see results with food/diet Changes from what we have been told. We shall see! We’ve been spot washing her a few times a week with Maleseb (leaving on 5-10 min) and putting neo predef powder on the wounds when her skin flares up (when we forget to treat her for too long). Doing this clears up the issues in about a week or less….but only temporary…. When we stop then the scales come back and area gets inflamed and oozy and scabby again. Looking forward to trying the COAT DEFENSE canine powder listed above. Just ordered it so please send prayers please! Hope this helps some other pet owners out there!...See MoreHelp!

Comments (3)Very possible that the little black fellows are aphids. If so, they suck plant sap and will weaken the plant. Rub them off, or use direct hits of insecticidal soap, diluted according to label directions. In both cases, repeat as needed. I'm not able to see enough detail to suggest what the white might be....See Moremomscottagegarden
