Comment on Composting 101: What and what not to throw in the compost bin? by Cherrie

Thank you

I had just been wondering about what I can put into compost over the last few days as I intend to start one.

I have always wondered if they whole organic hype really meant anything. I also don’t understand how they say some chicken can be organic and some is not? What does that even mean? I too think it is all just some marketing ploy. Well, I will now go back to puffing on my t-rex electronic cigarette and ponder if the nicotine in it is organic or not, haha.

I’m not sure why businesses try to use deceptive tactics such as this. If I get frustrated with a website it is not probable I will return. You should try to build long lasting relationships with your customers to ensure repeat business.

Comment on Compost Bins Stink by Chris Absco

A great and informative post on composting and on the bins as well. I live in a small suburban block in Australia and as a passionate gardener I do generate a lot of green waste that I also compost. You mentioned that you have not filled the bin in almost a year…my problem is I fill it too quickly and just recently had to order a green bin from Council…
Anyway, your blog not only looks great but you have great content as well.
Like it!

Comment on DIY Fungicide recipe by Larry

We were a bit paranoid this year because of three years of blight. So we actually treated our seedlings. We used Neem (a stronger concoction) on the roots and stems at planting. The tomatoes don’t seem bothered by either brew one bit even when small. We believe Neem is best used as a preventive measure before your plants are sprouting flowers heavily and bearing fruit. Then it should only be used if you spot trouble (see our article on disease).

The baking soda concoction can be applied at any time, but if applied too much we have noticed a build up of soapy material at the base of the plant. It is harmless in the garden and washes away with ease with a hose or rain. But in a planter it may become more of a problem, so if doing patio tomatoes, you may want to cut back on or cut out the soap.

Applying this concoction to tomatoes does not hurt them at all, so applying once or twice a week would be fine, but not necessary. Application about once ever two to four weeks should be adequate on healthy plants to keep them healthy. You may want to reapply after a heavy rainfall which may wash away the mixture.

Note that most of these diseases start at the bottom of the plant and move up. Regularly removing low-lying leaves and stems from the plant helps with that enormously. Then apply the fungicide from the bottom up, focusing on the stem and lower viable plant leaves.

We would apply this continually through the season because blight can rear its ugly head at any time. And like athlete’s foot, once it is there, it is much tougher to get rid of than if you avoided getting it in the first place.

Hi, how often do you apply this concoction?
