What did you do in the garden today?

Ya, The Strike company said it's BEST is only for a year, meaning they could only promise it was good for a year. He said toss it in the freezer. So I did. I'm still killing worms! New stuff if just pumpkin and DE and isn't proven to actually work.

I used safe guard most recently but I've heard valbazen is cheaper and fewer doses per treatment

 

[WthrLady]

Yup. I like the old strike II as it has no withdraw period for eggs. The safeguard and valbazen is 14 days. I'd be dumping 14 dozen eggs right now with those.

 

[ackie]

I only dumped 7 days of eggs (mostly gave them to other animals) and didnt die. but I wouldn't have sold them.

Ya. Not that my customers are driving out this time of year with -20- -40 windchills, so sigh...

Personal choice I suppose. I did quite a bit of reading about it, interesting.

it is 100% personal choice.

years ago I read some microbiotic stuff saying that bananas are very healthy but only people in hot climate benefit from it. if, eg. people in sweden eat bananas only and not fruits that grow in their country they will have lack of vitamins, minerals, etc that their bodies need to live in their climate.

another thing: a popeye/spinach myth. spinach is indeed packed with iron but in a form that human's body cannot use it. spinach is healthy but for vitamins (e and c if I remember well).

when kelp supplement first appeared I ran to buy it. at the beginning it was very expensive. unfortunately I did not feel any difference after months of using it. maybe because I am not a fish it might be the same thing like spinach, there is good stuff in it but not suitible for our bodies.

thinking that way I wonder in seaweed fertilizers would be good for land. I stick to manure and mulch which belong to the same environment.

The seaweed powder is a source of potassium. It's frequently used with pelleted chicken manure as the key source of nitrogen. Between the two, a well balanced, natural fertilizer can be formulated and customized depending on the plant.

I chop banana peels for potassium. I like to eat bananas, so why should I waste peels, right?
