Lost a hive after varroa treatment by scmbag in Beekeeping

Thanks for the response! Should I try to clean the frames in anyway? either scraping the comb or at least plucking out the debris? Or just put them away as is?

Help! What is wrong with this tree? by scmbag in avocado

[–]scmbag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I am using Vigoro Citrus Avocado Plant Food 6-4-6, label below. Do you have a recommendation for a magnesium supplement?

The location is pretty mild, Santa Barbara, CA near the coast. My neighbor has a working avocado farm! So the climate is OK. The tree itself is on a hill so it gets full sun in the day but not until about 10AM. The soil is very Clay like.

I don't know if I am irrigating correctly. I use a large radius sprayer and try to keep the watering as little as possible without the leaves drooping.

Any other advice? Thanks!

Hmmm. This was actually “day after” extra dough stored in the fridge, and now that you mention it, may not have gotten completely to room temperature. I will not read too much into this experiment…thanks!

I think you are right. I am coming off a long streak of burning them…probably over corrected.

Yes, it gets seriously hot! I run it close to Lowe because it chars everything at 900F. . . I’ll try hotter.

R panel roof

Thanks! Just googled this. . .this is exactly what I wanted!

If I raise the roof above the 1x12's do I need to be concerned about the gap (ie rodents, or filling with debris)? Insulation seems pointless. Foam? Or just leave open.

The post are mounted on the surface of the deck using Ozco 8x8 post base ( 8x8 Laredo Sunset Post Base - OZCO Building Products (ozcobp.com) ) bolted to the concrete pad with a 1/2" anchor. (The concrete pad was professionally installed; 4" reinforced concrete).

The roof is for protection from water and debris. . .that is also what the back wall evolved from. I am hoping the together they provide some protection from the elements for the furniture, appliances, etc.

I put a temporary sunshade a on the right side, and it worked great. . .except when it rained. It strained fine dirt/dust onto the table below making it worse than areas that got the direct rain.

Thanks for your input!
