I would use it. I use it on everything. Don’t forget to put a few drops of dish detergent and when you mix it up with water.

yes. That works too. For everything.
Not good if trying to be organic or avoid chemicals.
Castor bean it is the least toxic fix you will find...

that looks like it may be an aphid infestation. Those little black ants farm them for their food. If Captain Jacks doesn't seem to be working then I would mix up a batch of neem oil and try that. Spray on the tops and underside of all the leaves .

Aphids...

Yup we have 2 hose reels. A few miles of 6” underground with hydrants. And probably 10 miles worth of aluminum 4 and 5” field set pipe in 30’ lengths. 6, 6 cylinder diesel John deer turbo pumps as well as several drip systems.
your not in this game without irrigation

I agree aphids. I hate them. Just use warm water and about 1.5 teaspoons of dish washing liquid and it will kill them. I do that for my roses all the time.
I weeded my poor humble garden last night and realized that a few of the concrete panels are cracked bad. Needless to say this experiment failed terribly. I do think its mainly because the forms we made weren't done well enough. I do think I will start building wooden ones soon in preparation for next season.
I did not, but it was discussed. Also for some reason my father refuses to reinforce the tabs with wire as it calls out. I have tried to explain it to him a few times but he says I'm just being an engineer and it doesn't work in the real world. If I get time I might make a few forms myself and try to alleviate all these issues. It's too bad I was really digging the free labor.

+1 on this. That sucks, Miles, I thought that was a cool project.
Most of our stuff is starting to come in nicely but for the lettuce, which is looking pretty damn pathetic.
Forecast calls for barely a chance of storms a couple of days over the next 10 days again, mid to high 80's. Anyone recommend a good portable hose reel? I got a 100 yard or so hose end of last season for dirt cheap and it works well but it is a bitch to recoil every night. Most of the reels I've seen are pricey AF and/or have shitty reviews.
I have one if these I picked up years ago. Pretty sure I didn’t pay $150 but it’s been so long I don’t remember. Just repainted it with some rustoleum as paint was fading and getting some surface rust.
Coils up hoses nicely but can get heavy.

Definitely the kind of thing I'm looking for but OUCH, I paid like 30 bucks for the hose!
Not saying I'm not buying it, just saying!

I meant to add- for me it isn't a deal breaker if it isn't portable; the hose is long enough that if I hook it up at the spigot on the patio I can pretty much reach anywhere on the property.
Those reel "boxes" and wall hangers are pricey as hell too though!
Hell maybe I should just make one.

Yeah but I run this thing all over the place (all four sides of the house).
I suppose what I really ought to do is replace the hose I have with two 150's and put one on the patio and one on the garage wall spigot, and keep the 300 in reserve. Probably cheaper and less PITA in the long run.

How to Get Rid of Slugs with Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth diatoms have sharp edges that cut and kill slugs and snails. Is this true? Does Diatomaceous earth work to keep slugs from plants?

If you ever need more DE drive down to my place. We use food grade DE to filter the syrup.

Use Epsom salt . It will kill the slugs and actually benefit your plants with the magnesium. Iodized salts can and will damaged your plants.

Not sure, but I think this bastage is asking for succession planting for the lettuce he ate last week.
