Viking Fruit 15/16

h

Vasoline on the scale and grease tape to stop the ants, you can also spray the scale with a soap solution to dehydrate the scale

Cool. I think when I started reading around that's what I read. I think the scale over winters in the yard and has been getting worst. We will be nukeing the yard this year. do you know how scale gets on the plant ? does it start at base level and crawl up the stalk and branches or flies or blows in. Because most of it is in the centers of the plants. having big plants in cages makes it kinda hard to spot treat areas with vasoline.

This is all shit my abuala (grandma)taught me, she grew peaches and nectarines and too many veggies to count. Maybe old wives tales but she swore by it (The Vasoline and soap) she said the petroleum jelly suffocated them.

she knows whats up. I have seen a lot of scale on fruit trees. thus the only reason I kinda knew what it was. Scale is weird shit. I've seen it in attics on framing but a bigger kind, the size of scallops

We cut into the fruit tree and rubbed chalk on the infected area ..problem solved

They can travel via birds legs, ants or the wind. Grease bands stop the ants, the crawlers live under the shell as pupae and emerge the soap should stop them and white oil does the same job but it's petroleum based.

I got all the hemp stalks broken down and thrown away. I have the pots in the green house amended and cooking and the clover seed spread in the green house waiting to sprout. The hoop house is clean and ready for February . all I have left is the side yard pots and kiddy pool left to amend.
Just flipped two rooms to 12/12 on Monday and new clones are in the rooting tray. gonna pop some seed for the spring grow too.

What are the clover seeds for?

 

[TWS]

for the most part just to hold the dirt down in the green house but to all so have some kind of bug attractant or safe harbor so I can gas the fuckers before the season gets going. Clover is a very good cover crop and adds a lot of nitrogen back to the soil. I will generally plant some in my amended buckets to add back nitrogen and keep a micro heard going.

yes. Clover is good. that stuff there looks to have other seed in it besides clover. not that it matters. they all so mix it with Rye for cover crops.

 

[mushroom head]

Yes a bit more than clover in that one. Do you just pick your clover seed up locally tws? I can not find anything in the small town I live in, so have to order everything online..

 

[TWS]

I get mine at our box hardware store grass seed section.

@TWS what you said earlier made a lot of sense about the plant correcting the ph to suit it's needs, I had that issue last year during flower and treated the symptoms with trace elements and it just sorted itself out. Yer right I over complicated the issue and created more problems by messing with what the plant does naturally.
