bad smell from hives
Comments (2)plants4chris, the only thing i can think of is that the bees have died. wax worms have took over and thats the end of it. in the fall of the year when the bees are working sumac you will have a bad smell from the nectar,which clearsup when itis ripened.also if the hive has foulbrood disease you will get a foul odor. check the comb,if the cells in the comb are sunken in examine futher. the bee grub will be a dark color and not white. hope this helps. dannybee...See MoreFrom Bad, To Worst, To Down Too Pepper Plant Abuse.
Comments (14)Well sorry for the super long update from July on this post âÂÂplus bringing it back to lifeâÂÂ, but I have been very busy and barley taken care of these since then âÂÂalmost gave up but not thrown in the towelâÂÂ. HereâÂÂs what I did to fix the problem. First thing I did was took out the mulch âÂÂon top of mixâÂÂ. âÂÂWhich I found out from a grower is the worst thing to have in a pot unless its stone or rubber makes ez mold to form.â Then I flushed it out, untill the top roots where showing. Then covered the roots with fresh dry soil. The next day, I took 1 TBS of lime in and sprinkled it into each bucket then gave half a fert+water dose to each one. âÂÂI basically thought âÂÂand wasâ This was my worst pepper growing season, I ever had.â Reason behind it more rain than normal. Plus it being under a citrus tree didnâÂÂt help. I walked away for a few days to see what may happen. And as I thought the only new peppers IâÂÂm trying to grow will die first... and of course it was my TS. Now my BJâÂÂsâÂÂor now IâÂÂm pretty sure they are its sisterâÂÂNaga M is loving it. The CJH are small âÂÂexcept 1 âÂÂnot in photosâ which I saved to baby since her mother died recently to a dog leash âÂÂehâÂÂâ¦..is doing fineâ but the last few cold snaps, and with frost, we had here set off all the super hots. And now they are producing like crazy. I know this is not to be expected this time of year even in Central FL thatâÂÂs for sure. But what can I say there mom is over 2 years old and she started out in the cold lol. I know they might not look as great as everyone elseâÂÂs but they all gave me about 60+ pods harvested and still growing more.â Btw harvested them before pictures and realized I forgot I had to share with my fellow pepper growers about this. And left a couple on.â Sorry about the delay, I have been very busy. And on that note PEPPERMEISTER1 is definitely correct. It is hard to kill them. But if you put them under a citrus tree for some shade. âÂÂThey will dieâ P.s. PEPPERMEISTER1, Sorry late response. Had lots of holes in bucket to let them dry up. Just rain way too much. If I known it was going to be a wet season âÂÂand not dry like the past few yearsâÂÂ, I would of used the 5-1-1. But Im not always here to baby them. But, thatâÂÂs why I always take the strongest, healthiest and most producing, plant seeds to grow next year. After this fiasco these seeds probably grow into plants that can take a crap load of abuse lol. Also these pictures was taken today 11/29/12...See MoreBAD smell on lanai/pool deck--help!
Comments (3)This is not a "deck"--not raised with space underneath...it is concrete patio with pavers added on top of the original concrete.. and we have been in the yard--there is nothing dead there... We noticed the smell is more concentrated along the drain line cut into the concrete with a plastic slotted cover over it... I poured some vinegar in the drain at different points and let it sit for while and then ran water from the hose through it... That halped...also noticed that the people who laid the pavers did a poor job of getting the high point right so that both sides of the drain do just that--drain. One side of the drain does carry water outside the screen cage into yard but the other side apparenlty doesn't drain at all-- ran quite a bit of water into it and nothing came out into that side of the yard... My husband got some bleach today and we will try that tomorrow--so we can be sure all of the drain channel has gotten some... I am thinking it is stagnant water which isn't evaporating since the slope for the drain is not done right... and these people are worthless for fixing mistakes... we had them out twice for other problem and they just can't get it right-- should never have hired them... expensive mistake......See MoreLawn is BAD since tree cut down! Help!
Comments (7)Our last attempt was something very expensive that's a mixture of seed and some other matter which helped keep in in place and moist. I'm sorry I don't recall the name. It was great! the grass grew nicely for a little while, then slowly all died. That's why I think it's because of the decaying tree roots beneath. I'm thinking the roots of the grass get down so far and then they get to the bad stuff and it dies/ Maybe I'm wrong, but this is the pattern I see. So...we have aerated and reseeded in the Fall again. Time will tell!...See Moreannzgw
