Another thing I do, the morning after I spray with the bleach spray...

Take 1 gallon of untreated water (distilled, municipal water that’s been boiled, etc) add some ‘great white’ microbes. spray down the plants that have been sprayed the night before. Replaces the good microbes.

If you do spray with the bleach spray, stand upwind and wear old clothes. A mask would be good if you have one.

That site also has other preservation technique info, drying, fermenting, smoking, curing etc

I printed out all the PDF files and put them together in a binder. Laser jet with black only toner cost me 2-3 cents per page.

I’ve slipped organic sweet potatoes ditto ditto.

I’ve got some on my end of month grocery pickup list. We’ll see if I actually GET any of those :)

I usually order mine from southern exposure, sandhill and/or shumway. I’m hoping the crazy is over soon so I can get back to regular summer gardening here.

Nice to see our side TRYING to fight this.

Does the term ‘clean bill’ exist in their vocabulary? It does in the Democrat vocabulary and is very effective at getting a point like this across.

“The governor says it’s expected the apex of the outbreak in New York is likely 14 to 21 days away.”

I will have to try this, thanks. We used to have aphid problems but I plant marigolds with the tomatoes and that seems to keep them away.

Our other tomato problem is deer... they come and take big bites out tomatoes! My husband says she’s going to build a deer blind near the garden

WOW!!!!!!!! HEB has disabled their “search my store” so you can’t see if they have items or not. That’s just not right. The site wants you to got to “curbside delivery”. Uh, helloooo, the two closest stores don’t have that service.

Replaces the good microbes.

Thanks for tip. I saw someone talking about issues with bugs in kale, and other greens. I intended, but forgot to mention there are microbes you can spray on your greens which will kill these in a day or two. I don't remember the name of the microbe product I used, but agree these products works really well and are a natural way of dealing with these bugs/worms.

I don’t have an issue with people going back to work—if they have tested out. And, they get their temps taken every day.

I used to manage call centers. I would prefer to set them up working from home. They would probably be more productive—the agents are not talking to each other.

I think the microbe/product that kills bugs is the BT toxin stuff. Great White doesn’t have that particular on, I use it mainly to keep the foliar diseases down to a low roar...

UK has a large elderly population, plus socialized medicine.

They will soon go the way of Italy in turning away anyone 60 and over.

Apparently Florida expects a surge of people leaving the tri-state area to flee coronavirus.

“I hereby direct all persons whose point of departure originates from outside the State of Florida in an area with substantial community spread, to include the New York Tri-State Area (Connecticut, New Jersey and New York), and entering the State of Florida through airports to isolate or quarantine for a period of 14 days from the time of entry into the State of Florida or the duration of the person’s presence in the State of Florida, whichever is shorter,” the executive order says.
