sounds good to me.... i did post "viburnum tribolum (cranberry) HELP" thread.... would love to get more responses....thanks :) Re-posted here: hello, my leaves are curling under and the veins are turning brown. when i touch the leaves, they crack. this happened last year and all the leaves were skeletonized. does anyone know whats going on with this shrub? i planted 2 in the fall of '13 and its happening to both. once leaves are skeletons, hardly any leaf growth. no flowers or berries. i have been spraying with soap and water for 2-3 weeks, 3-4 a week. now and its happening again. i don't see any bugs or beetles, unless they are microscopic. any thoughts as to what's going on?? TIA

Yes i do feel the same. Too many forums have dried -up that i use to like. I do not know about this Garden Web future. This forum is big,but well organized. I am interested in growing tree fruits, not tomato or garden stuff but i do grow garden stuff. tree fruits are more complecated so you need more knowledge about them.I have been active in forums since the seventies and my interest are sub-tropicals only.(persimmon,oranges,manderins,atemoya etc.) Finding a forum to suit me is not easy,stuff that i post is usely not of interested to many. There are many people on the different forums that are very dedicated,more so then me so, there are always good info from them for the future. Bob.

The following was stated: "Henry, I do not want to get into an argument over the validity of sources." I am not questioning the validity of a source when it was written. I am pointing out that 2 reviewed scientific research papers have been published later that invalidate the 2 statements that I selected (for roses). For those interested in this area, the link below is to: "FINAL RESEARCH REPORT TO THE CERES TRUST FUND, January 2017 Title: Unraveling the mystery of compost teas used for organic disease and insect pest management" From a scientific study done at Michigan State University from 2011-2016. https://cerestrust.org/wp-content/uploads/schilder-final-report-jan-2017.pdf Please note that they did not specifically study roses.
