What is good for leaf miners I have tried everything
Awesome and thorough videos! Out of all the gardening channels I've subscribed to I find yours to be one of the top. Your passion is evident and I thank you for the wealth of information you share. Oh and I couldn't help but think of the movie "Caddyshack" when you mentioned your battle with the rodent problem lol. Hope you win!
Hello Johnny,
I really appreciate you taking the time to write me & for the positive feedback! Regarding "Caddyshack"-- For the last 30+ days I have been loosing.... The #1 first step is repellent.... however, my garden is walled (deep) on all sides... every year for the past 4 years there has been 1-3 new moles.... I think the hawks are dropping them off in my yard! :) Step #2 is setting traps.... Wish me luck! :)
Charles
Thank you for such an informative video! I immediately went and bought the SG spray and I hope to make some of your compost tea sometime soon. I love your enthusiasm, Charles!
That 1st lemon tree you sprayed has a lovely shape. I really like how it's turning out.
Hello Sherie,
I love that tree! It is my favorite one of my 3 Meyer Lemons that are growing on either side of that one.
Charles
Glad to see that you address Citrus Greening. I just happened to be brewing my compost tea as I watched this. I've been making a batch almost every weekend since learning about it 4 months ago. :)
Hello David,
Compost tea is WAY superior to the over the counter nutritional sprays (which may have higher concentrations of micro nutrients). The primary reason is that compost tea has so many beneficial organisms that out-compete with pests and disease that can harm your plants-- it's like spraying natural antibiotics on your plants while also offering nutrients plants can absorb through their leaves. Additionally, compost tea (diluted) can be applied as a foliar spray to all plants... not just citrus & other tropicals. Have a great weekend! :)
Charles
Absolutely! I spray it, and drench my fruit trees, veggies, and even some of our ornamentals. I have tomato plants that are struggling with fusarium wilt, but compost tea is helping them push through, and they're producing even with curled up leaves.
CT is great stuff! :)
not sure if you eventually got to this because I didn't want to watch for 24 minutes... but I believe the reason they say to use it in the wintertime is because citrus plants that are in alkaline soil have a problem taking up those micronutrients, and the problem is worse in the winter time when the soil is colder.
Hello Dummkompf,
Thank you for sharing in the comments-- Makes sense! :)
Charles
wow the home made food for the trees are something new...thankx
Hello The One,
Glad you enjoyed this video! :-)
Charles
IV Organic I've enjoyed all your videos
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! :-)
Charles
Thanks for all the great advice. Awesome video. Subscribed.
That was good information .Number one thing I cannot get my compost started if my life depended on it lol 😂 I put grass clippings a bunch of leafs and food scraps in a homemade compost bin that I made there's a bunch little flys all around it but for some reason I don't see the leafsbreaking down at all. #2 I have a big problem with squirrels and snails really bad every time I see fruit on the trees they don't get fully mature because the squirrels come and start getting into it. Now for my garden my tomato leafs egg plant leafs the snails get to it but I'm not gonna give up i'll be like that guy on Caddy shack with dynamite in my backyard lol I think I'm better off just going to the store and buy liquid fertilizer. keep the videos coming 👍🏽
How often should you spray the citrus tree with this AG? Daily, Weekly, Monthly? Thanks
Thank you so much for all this information im going to try it out🙏💕💋
Can i spray this even if we are in March also i live in phoenix az
Great video! I've learned so much watching these.My baby meyer lemon tree has three almost all yellow lemons...so excited about that!
My question: when should I bring in my potted meyer lemon tree?
Hello Cynthia Terry,
Thank you so much for the compliment! :) With regards to your potted Meyer Lemon tree, I would recommend that you bring it indoors if there is any risk of night time freezing temperatures... Even though, an established Meyer lemon tree can tolerate below freezing temperatures for a brief period with minimal risk of damage according to most research. Keep me posted on your successes! :) Charles
I absolutely love your channel so informative. I have citrus, avocado, fig, and several other trees I am trying to protect from the gopher that periodically appears. but I've just ordered your product and will treat them all. My mother in law swears her gopher has not returned since putting juicy fruit gum down the holes. just wanted to share. Thank you again for the wonderful channel.
Hello Kathy Ramos,
Thank you so much for the compliment! :) I will look into using juicy fruit gum to control gophers.... interesting! My #1 & #2 worst garden pests are moles and leaf miners. I wonder if the gum would also work on moles? :) Than you for sharing! Charles :)
Thanks you so much I will do right now
hi i been watching many of you videos and i really like it very interesting i would like what's the distance between one citrus tree and other thanks
Great video. Thank you so much! I really need your advice. I just planted an avocado tree and 10 days later I noticed that the leaves got very droopy. I suspected it was overwatered so I decided to remove it from ground. I was right the bottom of the whole was a small pool of water. I guess the roots probably rot(?). I made the hole bigger and wider and put soil at the bottom of the whole and I replanted it. now the leaves are almost dry and brown and they started falling off. Is my tree dead? Do i still have chances to save it?
I just purchased the Citrus nutritional spray you mention. But right now it is May and very hot and humid( I live in Houston). Should I apply it? I think I do not have any other options but I was wondering if you can give me some tips. My last question is if you think this issue can be just a plant shock and not related to over-watering.
Thank you again.
What about the roots, they feed on the roots too
Nicely Done!
Are southern ag nutritional sprays ok to use in an organic garden?
How does IV Organics affect stomata nutrient absorption since it is a topical spray as well?
Another great video! I love your channel as it's very informative. It must be a Los Angeles thing because I also have a "very" similar problem within my backyard and garden. I've been fighting with some kind of animal digging very small holes within my beautiful green lawn and my fruit trees. I have found so many small holes within my newly planted trees. I did try watering all the holes. but they seem to come back. The thing that worries me is they seem to ruin my grass roots as some portions of my lawn have died out. Additionally, I think it also affects my lemon tree growth. Do you have anything to recommend to completely get these animals out of my lawn as a whole. Could this be a result from using organic fertilizer on all my plants and lawn care?
Hello Junior Covarrubias,
Thank you for the compliment! :) The rodent you have in your soil is likely a mole (possibly vole) if they are tiny holes like I shared in this video (about 1 inch in diameter). Organic gardening does not attract these rodents-- In fact it should be the opposite. Some repellents use blood meal as a main ingredient in repelling these ground rodents-- the same ingredient in many nitrogen rich organic fertilizers. However, gardening organically is dependent on feeding the soil organisms (earth worms, nematodes, beneficial bacteria, etc), which consume the organic material making it more readily available to the plants. Indirectly, organic gardening could result in more soil insects that are attracting the soil rodents that feed on these insects. Your goal when treating this concern should be in this order: (1) repellent, (2) trap it, (3) poison it. Be careful with poisons as you could contaminate your soil, vegetable and fruit trees, etc... in addition to impact on surrounding wild life. Here is a video I published in May addressing this issue. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/KiVLUWr7foc/video.html
Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Hi Charles, I wonder if you can help me... I live in Australia, our summers can be harsh and our Winters are all over the place... Here in Newcastle, we don't get snow, but in recent years it gets below freezing, 0 degrees Celsius. I have a grafted "Dwarf" Mango, it appears the graft has died, when I noticed all the leaves and branches dying, I was very unhappy. but then the root stock sprouted and I thought I'd let it go. Now I'm starting to wonder if I can use it to graft a new Mango, usually root stocks are chosen for their hardiness, not their fruit. I have a neighbour a few streets away with a Mango Tree, what are your thoughts? Which part of the Mango Tree should I ask for a clipping?
you added sugar, wouldn't it propagate disease/mold ?
Hello J Kl,
Yes, if added directly to the soil; however, the sugar added to the compost tea will be consumed by the living organisms & multiply their populations under oxygen-rich (a bubbler should be added) to create aerobic (oxygen-loving) beneficial microorganisms. Within a day or two, the sugar should be all consumed with populations of beneficial organisms that have doubled, tripled or more... Let me know if you have any other questions. Charles :-)
how oftten should we use ? in winter time ? like 1 time each month till feb is ok ? or just 1 or 2 times
