Citrus Pests Cause Disaster - I fixed it organically, here's how!
Last year my garden exploded with pests in a way I'd never seen before. The damage was most prominent on my Valencia orange and ruby grapefruit citrus trees. I stepped in and took action using a variety of organic pesticides and beneficial insects to cure the infestation of aphids, spider mites, brown soft scale, thrips, leaf miner and more! This year the orchard is thriving and the summer growth is almost completely pest free. Couldn't be happier to have healthy dark green leaves shining in the summer sun!

Blackout Shades - Easy Install - High Quality!
zhlédnutí 204Před 21 dnem
We were in need of some blackout roller shades for our living room windows. To our surprise we found these smooth blackout rolling shades on Wayfair for a pretty reasonable price.

Let me know if you have ...
Taste Testing the Flavor Delight Aprium - Unreal!!!

I think I've found my favorite new fruit tree! It's an Apricot and Plum hybridized and produced by Zaiger Genetics/Dave Wilson and it's mystifyingly delicious. A confusing fruit that'll leave you wondering how a fruit you've never heard of could be so similar to fruits you know, but so delightfully different than anything you've ever had before. It's sweet, tangy and delicious in a way you'll n...
Fire Blight Destroyed My Massive Loquat Tree
zhlédnutí 424Před měsícem
I wish I would have recognized it earlier, but fire blight (a bacterial infection) has been spreading in my favorite tree for many years. The tree is a loquat, and the fruit it produces is simply fantastic. Unfortunately I had some tough decisions to make on how to remedy this and it all started with a massive pruning, cutting back the infected limbs. My fruit orchard and garden will never be t...

Desperate times called for desperate measures. I decided to go with a homemade muriatic acid solution, a nylon brush, protective gear, and some elbow grease. I was able to dissolve and scrub away the cement grout, leaving my ...

    Good vid! I might pot mine up this weekend. I've never heard the silent j used before for this tree???? Probably worth putting a mask on when you tip the perlite out to keep the dust out of your lungs.

    • @DadsRadPad
      @DadsRadPad Před měsícem

      Thanks dude! Yeah most of the New Zealanders I’ve heard say it keep it silent. Maybe they’re keeping the J for themselves 😂. But yeah I feel you on the perlite dust. I always forget and as I’m pouring it out it I get an unpleasant reminder.
