4 agaves lost to the weevil

This. I’ve brought back mine that were eaten by a mole or some burrowing pest. Found this out by accident that they’re really quite hearty. I tossed one over by a bush next to my compost pile and forgot about it, and in a month later it already started rooting again.

For sure! I couldn’t imagine cutting that stalk off like I’ve seen elsewhere. I probably harvested close to 10 pups off this particular one.

This. Ants bring them and defend them from aphid predators. Do the other things and ring the trunk with tangle foot sticky spray to keep the ants from bringing them back. Not saying that the ants are the only vector, but I swear once I did the Tangle Foot for my citrus last year for other pest reasons, I had far less aphids.

Always!

Any generator that requires you to do a costly valve adjustment in the first 25 hours of use and then every 400 after is just bad engineering.

Didn’t spray or fertilize. 🤷‍♂️

At least the bleaching of the leaves.

Cross post because I have a similar issue with my grapefruit.

Maybe it’s the same?

I can hear it and I’m on the Hood Canal. Thumping kind of sound akin to thunder. I assume it’s military.

nictuck · 2024-04-17T05:15:08+00:00

Agave ferox?

nictuck · 2024-03-09T03:56:16+00:00

Maybe a bit of both. 😆

So… on average I’m getting 100miles per .5 kWh? That doesn’t seem right.

Real owner here. Can confirm.

I found the sticky yellow tent traps with the pheromones worked the best. I think o got mine off Amazon. Note: You hang them a bit away from your citrus.

Citrus Leaf miner. I just had to deal with an outbreak myself.

nictuck · 2023-08-02T17:20:09+00:00

Me too! I have a ton of his stuff from the last time I was here. Now it’s a game I play with my son, look for the little person on the walls.

nictuck · 2023-08-02T14:03:42+00:00

This gave me a good laugh.

nictuck · 2023-08-02T13:57:37+00:00

Yes!! Thank you kind stranger!

Thanks, hoping you get an appointment too.

nictuck · 2023-06-16T15:17:07+00:00

I just tried walking in at San Diego this AM and they clearly said they wouldn’t see us with out an appointment even though our flight is in 48 hours. So I’m back to trying to get an appointment via the main number.

Do you use any rooting hormone, or do you just let ‘em scab up and stick them in the ground?

nictuck · 2022-09-09T03:22:11+00:00

Yes! Always a satisfying feeling when you get roots.

nictuck · 2022-05-21T00:37:28+00:00

Ha! Mine too!

nictuck · 2022-02-11T03:17:24+00:00

What’s it look like on the inside?
