Comments (35)I would worry about them dying too, but look at the dates of the posts: first one is June 16th, so photo was taken no later than that date. Second post is today-August 4th. So I am thinking that if they didn't die in about 6 weeks or longer, and had been sitting in same location they must be acclimitized well...of course that is just the way I think :) and could be very wrong! And greening of the plants on left suggest to me that even little bit of shade and little more water (drops from window AC units) makes quite a difference...See MoreHow can I save this cutting?

Comments (20)Paul, I have considered using a mix of just inorganic matter but so far my plants have been alright in my current soil mix that has a bit of coco peat and gardening soil, and a lot of charcoal, perlite and pumice. They're all outdoors with a roof over them so they get full morning sun + no rains (unless there's a storm and winds are crazy) and dry out 1 or 2 days after watering. Once the gardening soil and coco peat finishes I'll try growing some of my plants in just perlite, pumice and charcoal. I dislike the coco peat quite a lot because it seems to compress and lose its airy quality quite quickly. The coco peat and gardening soil was in the succulent mixes i bought when i was a beginner to all this :( but i hate throwing away things that can still be used so i just try to make them work....See MoreAny ideas how to save Mangos from critters?
Comments (28)Hi, it's a battle, isn't it? I use the strawberry container clam shells as well. It seems to work for most things. However, this year I haven't put any one and haven't lost a single fruit. The first thing you have to do is identify the culprits. I had a couple large male raccoons and some possums in previous year, so I bought one of those have-a-heart traps and baited it with a marshmallow smeared with a bit of peanut butter. I caught them in a single day and then relocated them ten miles away from my home. Pretty easy. I then set rat bait in rat bait traps in a couple areas of my property. The last problem was the squirrels! I never minded them too much, but I discovered that they were the cause of my internet going out since they chew on the cables plus they have the habit of taking a bite out of my fruit (a peach or a mango usually or maybe a starfruit) then leaving it to take another bite out of another fruit; at least the raccoon devoured only a single fruit in a sitting. A squirrel will go through five. To solve this prolbem (don't judge me too harshly), but I purchased this -- https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6JKVLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It traps and kills the squirrels pretty easily. I then use them for fertilizer for the trees that they were using to ruin my fruit. The end result is I'm not spending my time wrapping each fruit in a clamshell anymore....See MoreRelated Professionals
