I don’t do my trees no more, had a cheap stepladder collapse while I was halfway up and almost broke a few ribs in the process. There is an easy way to identify a plant with your phone camera & Google lens app: Do a search on “identify plants with google” It helped me out identifying some nice looking toxic plant I had growing… |

We had a plum tree. Don't anymore.
In the season, they're as welcome as zuchinni. Please, take some more with you! The Rainier Cherry I had at my old house got too tall, but there's never too many cherries.

There's a fruiting pear tree just beyond the property line behind my house. Probably Bartlett, definitely not one of the ornamental flowering Callery pear trees that are planted in just about every yard around here. The tree must've been planted and forgotten by whoever owned the land before it was subdivided and developed.
Anyway, it's tall enough that the fruit is out of reach, and even if it was within reach, without regular thinning and pruning it produces thousands of tiny pears instead of hundreds of supermarket-sized ones. All it's good for is dropping overripe fruit on the ground in September and attracting every Yellowjacket in a five mile radius. |

Reminds me I have to go to the John Deere store and buy a tune up kit for mine. What amazes me is the original battery is still going strong after 4 winters without a trickle.
We have an aphid infestation on our ash trees. Learning about soil drench application pest control. Hey @humfrz, what can you tell me about imidacloprid? |

But, if you are, you could make your own aphicide. https://proshieldpest.com/tobacco-bug-spray/ @Tcoat could send you a supply of used cigarette buts, you could boil up for your concoction. Ol Tcoat and I have been using nicotine for years to control garden pests. We use the "dusting - smoking" method of application. Set up a lawn chair in the garden and puff away on a few cigarettes each evening. OK, that reminds me of a back in the day pesticide research story. When I was a research rep for a large manufacture of pesticides, I had a tech rep down in Arizona that called me and declared that he had discovered a new use for one of our insecticides, as a miticide, and ask me to come down to Arizona to document his discovery. Although it was July and temperatures well into the 100s, I drove down to appease him. I met him one day the next week and we went out to this grape vineyard where he demonstrated that Imidan kills mites. He fired up his CO2 sprayer, filled the tank with "hot" water that come up from a deep well, added some Joy soap (to act as a surfactant) and the Imidan. He then proceeded to spray some grape vines that were almost dried up from moisture stress and loaded with mites. Yep, sure enough, his concoction zapped the mites! NOW, I said to Tom, how about setting up a control, using the same situation but without the Imidan. He did, and low and behold the mites were also killed - ![]() I had to explain to Tom, that the combination of 90 degree water, plus 110-degree air temperature, plus the surfactant (soap) applied to stressed out mites on moisture stressed vines, actually killed the mites. Needless to say, he was rather disillusioned and apologized for having me come all that way down to Yuma. I said that was OK, he just needed to take me out to the best restaurant in San Luis (just across the border) to get some real Mexican food. - ![]() THE END Last edited by humfrz; 05-22-2023 at 04:58 PM. |

Preferably, you'd need to spray the 5 blocks surrounding and 10 blocks upwind.
