Fungus prevention on shrubs
Comments (3)Two mixtures I have found useful in controlling plant fungi are either 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda mixed in 1 quart of water and sprayed every 5 to 7 days or a 50/50 mixture of fat free milk and water sprayed on the same schedule for infected plants. Of course the best thing to do is look at the growing conditions and determine why these plants are getting this fungal infection and correct the conditions that lead to this, so you need not spray for it....See MoreFungus Gnats, can you bare with one more question?
Comments (17)Fertilizer choice won't have any effect on fungus gnats, just the plants. I disagree about using wilt as an indicator of when to water or as an attempt to get rid of FG's. About to wilt = healthy, actually wilted = extreme distress. As plants grow, they will use more moisture so the pot will dry more quickly, so a set schedule is rarely ideal. Drying at the top really won't help since the gnats will just use the moist soil at the bottom of, and within the center of the pot, especially if they are able to access the drain holes as mentioned. (Assuming your pots have drain holes. Do they?) The only bone of contention I have, a very minor one, with the excellent advice here would be that I wouldn't call a potting mix crappy if the only reason for that label is that it is able to support fungus gnat larvae. They need organic matter, so although it's certainly possible to have/make/(buy?) a potting mix without such, many people are perfectly happy with potting mixes containing such, either store-bought or home-made. Since fungus gnats are so easy to defeat/control/avoid, I don't find this one feature, seeing a few fungus gnats in small enough amounts that they do not bother plants or people, a significant enough detriment to call a potting mix crappy. (Please don't interpret this as arguing that FG's can damage plants, not saying that, just that a few seem harmless.) Some don't tolerate any fungus gnats, and I respect that, and support their efforts to get rid of them. Some may create a mix that does have organics but not of a type/texture that harbors FG's. As you learn, you can do the best possible job with what you can get and afford. Instead of overwatering, think under-drying and excessive moisture within the "soil" as the issue. I water many plants daily, if I feel like it, although they can go for a few days, some longer......See MoreHot Pineapple Sauce
Comments (3)Here is the link to how I made it. It was amazing and I definitely plan to do it again with the yellow fatalii that I have left. I really liked how the charring effected the pineapple. Although it was delicious the first time I made it without that, you can't really go wrong. Here is a link that might be useful: my sauce...See MoreLOOKING for: Hot Cidar with Apple Juice?
