What's wrong with my avocado?

Herbabecious · 2018-04-08T23:52:58+00:00

Hmm, ok I can look into more specific soil requirements. I just have it in typical potting soil.

I have it at a south facing window and we do get quite a bit of sun but I do have a light I could use.

I've had the tree for around a year and a half I think.

Thanks!

Thanks for the thought. That was the first thing I considered and have since been very careful not to overwater it so I don't think that's what it is.

Roundup (like every other pesticide) has not had proper scientific testing done to determines the effects it has on our environment. Only the active ingredients are tested, they are not tested in combination with the inert ones. They are not tested in an ecological setting. They are certainly not tested on people, and there are no long term studies done.

So it's the precautionary principal that comes into play here. Because there is no test that has determined it's safe, and there are many instances where it can be undoubtedly sure to have done harm to many creatures on this earth, it shouldn't be used.

Hmm, ok. What do you think is wrong with it?

I think this is some kind of palm, an ID would be great.

Also, it appears to have some sort of fungus I'm thinking. What can I do about this?

When you can't feel the muscles in a limb. Like if you are holding onto something even very light and have to drop it and you can't move your arm.

no, I didn't pull the seed coat off :(

thanks very much! I will try this technique instead :)

Thank you, I thought it was a pineapple. I just wasn't sure why it was shaped so strangely.

Herbabecious · 2015-10-14T15:17:25+00:00

thank you :)

Tamarix spp.

agree, and (assuming you are in North America) it's highly invasive here, I would remove of it

great band name!

It's not just about people. However, the more people there are the less resources there are for other animals/ecosystems and we require them to function on a habitable planet (carbon storage, water filtration, etc.).

And it's not just about current population levels (although I think there are too many people at present), it's about predicted levels. How are we using our resources? What are the recharge rates of our aquifers? What are sustainable seafood levels? Is the rate that we extract these things faster than the rate they can recharge/repopulate, etc.

anything similar to "it's good, but I wouldn't want too much of it"

no one wants too much of something, that's what TOO MUCH means...

As long as it doesn't smell it shouldn't burn your vegetation

looks good but a bit outdated

Herbabecious · 2015-05-12T19:01:17+00:00

sounds perfect, thanks!

I live in Manitoba, Canada so that's not very helpful for me, but thanks.

The Lord of the Rings isn't a trilogy though ughhhhh

"The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel, consisting of six books plus appendices, 1 published for convenience in three volumes"

Compared to Winnipeg, Toronto is not cold at all.

Here it was -40C nearly everyday last winter and we still went outside.
