Gophers are less likely to attack healthy plants
2.
By top-dressing Is the lawn being damaged by them? When you have your lawn and property with year-old horse manure, spotted the telltale signs of gophers or moles (a small you will not only be feeding your soil, but also repel-mound of soil or dead plants), naturally as they do not like manure
3.
If you live in an environment where there are lots of gophers bugs, larvae, grubs, spiders, and centipedes, you should start thinking in terms of protecting your plants
4.
Other plants gophers hate are herbs such as tansy, peppermint, spearmint and rosemary
5.
Nitrogen s not the most important element of what you feed your plants
6.
However, studies around the world have shown that such a process is not the one used by most of the world’s sewer treatment plants

• Water Soluble Blood Meal 14-0-0: If you have ever tried to dissolve blood meal then you know why this is such a great product! Indoor magic for all your house plants, contains A-35 plus natural proteins, plant growth regulators and minerals
8.
When it comes to plants, they want the type of energy that can be converted into sugars that they need for the various plant functions such as assimilation and flowering
9.
The higher energy sources provide to the plants a quick pick me up, Higher energy food sources are easier to be absorbed then lower energy sources which require more energy to assimilate leaving the plant in a minus situation which in turn causes stress etc
10.
But if the plants are supplied with an abundance of food, a greater balance is achieved between the plant and its surrounding environment
11.
Ants, like most predatory insects, attack plants that are sick or stressed
12.
This is a good time to see how the plants are responding to their new organic regime
13.
“It’s not the plants that are hooked on the chemicals,
14.
During the next few years you should work on reducing the chemicals used by ••• then eventually not using any chemicals at all and be 100% Organic! Any problems your plants may have can be treated with the appropriate organic controls; some of which are mentioned in this book
15.
Use when needed around plants
16.
Potent! Use as a dust around plants
17.
Paint the paste onto plants with a paint brush
18.
It will last a long time and will protect plants from crawling insects
19.
Learn to blend different plants to achieve best results
20.
It was developed to help reduce inflammation, promote healthy circulation and healing, and alleviate pain and because of its strong odors will repel most insects as well as keep them from eating your plants
21.
It is the fermentation process that converts energy to the plants as readily available sugars, and minerals
22.
Nothing organic here! So I would suggest that you make it yourself for your own use and make some extra for your plants!
23.
Add to sprayer and use on plants
24.
The powder can be sprinkled around plants
25.
Use at weak strength for best results and less damage (soap will burn plants)
26.
Citrus or lime juice can be sprayed on most plants and vegetables
27.
The strength you use depends on the type of plants you are spraying
28.
Buried at base of plants
29.
It is always wise to test the soap out on a small section of the plant to make sure it will not harm the plants
30.
For the five years that Nichols has conducted trials on his technique, it has been completely effective on whitefly and a broad spectrum of small bodied “infestation” insects without any damage to the treated plants
31.
They suck the sugars from the plant, leaving a great deal of this nectar behind on the leaves of the plants being attacked
32.
This fungus interferes with photosynthesis, reducing the energy level of the plants being attacked
33.
Here is a list of some spiders and how to control them on your plants and in the house: part of our eco-system
34.
Red Spiders: These tiny spiders are reddish in color and are found on indoor plants that have very little air circulation
35.
Overwatering will tend to damage the plants more than the spiders would
36.
However, if you have an unusually large weight in insects every amount of red spiders per plants, its time to make a few changes!
37.
Before you repot plants, bathe it in a mild soapy water solution
38.
This causes major changes in the PH levels of the soil effect-ing nutritional absorption by the plants
39.
Poor health and high stress of plants are due to improper nutrition
40.
Planting during the wrong time of year also exposes plants to insects that would not normally affect your plants, if they planted at the right time
41.
Minerals: There are over 72 minerals that are needed by the soil and the plants for healthy disease free growth
42.
Zinc is normally readily available in the soil but when the flow minerals needed by the soil and plant is interrupted, the zinc will be used up by the plants and quickly run are depleted
43.
When the plants do not have any zinc left they go into immediate stress
44.
I watch him as he crosses the room; avoiding meeting my eyes, he plants a kiss on my cheek
45.
The first thing you have to do is address the nutritional needs of your property as well as that of the plants
46.
Know your plants and their PH requirements
47.
This is primarily due to its high calcium levels as well as high iron, and its large selection of trace minerals, which are made immediately available to the soil and plants
48.
There is a definite relationship between various insects, in particular aphids, which are found on plants, and ants
49.
The ants control most if not all insect activity on plants that they have ‘adopted’
50.
Plants under the care of the ants are protected by them and are also used as a source of food either for them directly thru the sap or pollen of the plant or indirectly thru the use of aphids and other insects which attack the plant and which in turn are ‘milked’ by the ants (for their nectar)
51.
There are many natural fungicides that are used to control Downey Mildew, Rust, Black Spot, Powdery Mildew and other exotic diseases, but by now you should get the idea that the basis for regaining the health of the roses and other plants is to regain the health of the soil
52.
Remember that it can affect the soil health as well as the plants health if over used
53.
Description of Disease: Canes turn brown from tips, plants most affected in colder climates, right after winter protection is removed, not a disease itself but can led to disease attack
54.
Use Tangelfoot (available from most garden centers) and place a line around the base of the plants
55.
All plants have leaves of one form or another, and when you feed them through these leaves, you are foliar spraying them
56.
The idea is to provide plants with important trace minerals, bacteria, enzymes, and elements necessary for a healthy plant to grow
57.
Enzymes are important to plants in that they help to release minerals, nutrients that are locked up in the soil
58.
Your plants will love it
59.
It also makes available trace minerals to the plants
60.
will help to prevent diseases on most plants and trees
61.
This may not have the necessary minerals for plants and trees, so it is best to buy rock dust from those companies that make it specifically for this use
62.
Spray this on the plants leaves, this increases the energy level of the plants, assisting them in fighting off pests
63.
• Due to its high mineral content, rock dust helps in all aspects of the plants biological process
64.
Plants are healthier
65.
• Rock Dust increases mineral content of the soil and the plants growing on it
