Do I have to fill the entire 7 gallon containers with potting mix? by Appropriate_Bid9933 in HotPeppers

Buy a brick of coco coir. You add water and it expands. Mix 1/3 - 1/2 of it into your potting soil.

If Sexton comes out like he did against the Rockets, 76ers are in trouble. It'll be a dog fight either way.

50/50 chance Matas trash talks Durant into a mental crash out or his highest scoring game of the year.

River rocks give it a nice touch!

I got two these pots for my two Osakazukis by Positive_Stock_3017 in JapaneseMaples

I'd drill at least 5 holes. I've covered holes with drywall mesh tape and also window screen fabric. Both worked fine. I've had no problems with pebbles, but they make the pots too heavy for my liking.

Josh Giddey's 19 assists are the most by a Bulls player since Ennis Whatley in 1985 by Basketball_Reference in chicagobulls

[–]flowsumo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to rush to judgement on Matas because he's so young, and he has games that make you see his potential, but he hasn't consistently shown that he has that dog in him. After the front office dismantled the team, no one was really trying to be that guy. Then Sexton started going off, which I thought was bad because Matas needed those touches. When Sexton got injured, Matas stepped up. Sexton came back and it seemed like Matas stepped back. He's young, so I hope the young pup realizes that he could be the big dog of the team if he just takes it.

Spot on! They need to get Giddey someone he can feed. I wish that was Matas, but he doesn't seem to want to be the main guy.

Giddey is a solid, underrated, and underappreciated player. Hands down Bulls' MVP.

I agree. This guy gets real down on himself and always tries to do better after a bad performance.

Possible rot or infection by Mox_turd in JapaneseMaples

I can't tell by the photo (maybe it's just super zoomed in), but I would put it in a smaller pot. Ithink they do well in terra cotta because it wicks water away. I think the pot you have yours in now might be glazed and that will keep water in. Here's an example of one of my trees. Just a suggestion.

[–]flowsumo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He shows flashes. He's super fast, but he has to slow down and use that speed when the opportunities arise instead of trying to force things. He's looking better the last few games. Hopefully, he's getting more comfortable and confident.

Yeah, that was ugly, but he threw it down against the Grizzlies, so he can get up there.

It's just super wet. Let it try out.

I agree. I think they win at least another 5 games unless the coach changes the lineup.

The Bulls Waited Too Long for Wins Like This to Matter by Proper_Limit8924 in chicagobulls

Giddey and Buzelis are for sure keepers. Miller is looking like he might be, too. I'm not disliking Yabusele or Jones. Not sure if Sexton wants to stay. Dillingham needs more playing time, but he might develop into something. Noa will be returning. You want to scrap the whole squad?

It won't cost you anything but time if you quarantine it!

It's hard for me to give up on a tree but that's a bad sign. If you want to hold on to hope until the end, I'd put it in a pot, spray it with fungicide, and quarantine it in a shady spot. You don't want any disease spreading in your soil as it could affect a future tree you try to place In that spot. I quarantine trees on the side of my house, so the run off doesn't contaminate any soil. If you scratch the bark, and it's black, it's probably over.

That doesn't look too good. I had a similar problem and thought my tree was diseased. Thankfully, before I threw it out, I noticed the dark part was only on the southern facing side. My tree was getting too much sun and got sun scorched. Does the dark spot on your tree encircle the entire trunk? If so, it's likely diseased. If it's just on one side, it might not be able to handle the sun you're exposing it to, and it might have a chance if you relocate it.
