Hi, To control powdery mildew on grapes and other fruits and vegetables you can use a spray of 40% milk and 60% water and spay the grapes leaves top and underside and the vines. This works well if you keep the spraying up every 10 days until the season is over. The vines need plenty of air...

Thanks Kentuckymom, That makes me feel a lot better to know that this happens to young pullets, I just went out side and I got one egg that was small, brown. Basically they all laid today just 3 shell less and wasted. Anyway thank you once again for your response, much appreciated. My first day...

Hi Everyone I was just wondering if it is normal for pullets that are 15weeks old to start laying eggs as mine have a week ago at 15weeks. The reason I ask is that three were laying small brown eggs and one laid a shell less egg. For the last few days however I have been finding good medium and...
