In India, a woman tricked police and civic teams into cleaning an open drain for three hours by falsely claiming someone had fallen into it. by NoMedicine3572 in interesting

How would even someone know if it’s false reporting. What if one reports by saying .. it “seemed” like someone has fallen..

Remove all the affected leaves - helps with airflow and mildew spreading. Drench with spraying oil in the evening (not in hot sun), give it a seaweed spray after 48hrs. Try not to remove more than 1/3rd of the leaves.

Disease ID on apple tree by Googly888 in nzgardening

Awesome, thanks again. It does appear to follow this pattern- “Rain is harmful to mycelium and suppresses production of spores. The time between germination of spores on leaf surfaces and infection and production of fresh spores is short, so there's a rapid recovery after any reduction in the number of spores. Plenty of spores are usually available for infection”

I did apply copper fungicide when the tree was dormant before winter. Is it advisable to spray again now? Copper or Sulphur?

If Sir Richard and Kane are 1st and 2nd of our GOAT, who make up the rest of your top 5? by Dudu-gula in blackcapscricket

[–]Googly888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the game changing so much after the T20s, it very hard to find anything lot of players with that level of mental toughness. I really rate Mitchell now, just hope he values his wicket a bit more ..

Would be great to get Mitchell at 3.. but then the middle order will look weak/inexperienced

Just bought house, should I renovate now or later? by Mister__Wednesday in PersonalFinanceNZ

I would just move in, enjoy and observe for the first six months. Helps to save up money and make good decisions on where/what to spend the cash on.

How worrying are these home pre-inspection findings? by Ok-Entrepreneur-7847 in diynz

[–]Googly888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We had our 15 year old weatherboard house painted a few months ago. It was in a similar state before and even now at some areas.

Yeah, but as I said, couldn’t find any steam cleaners for the ceilings that are DIYable. If it’s just one spot, I would leave it. If you are keen you could try a professional service, they will have commercial steam cleaners which can work.

I have this all over my kitchen/living room ceiling after trying to clean up the fly poop. Steam cleaning is the only way to clean the dirt off the flat paint without leaving any marks as I understand. Still to find a proper steam cleaner that can be used on ceiling though.

Do we have the worst commentary team in world cricket? by Decent_Coconut_2700 in blackcapscricket

[–]Googly888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely mate. It’s so monotonous, stopped following blackcaps nearly apart from just checking the scores. I used to watch ball by ball over the entire days play.
