Concerned About Willow
Comments (3)Something is bothering it for sure. My neighbor had one underperforming. We got in under the leaves and found the bark 2/3 the way around the tree to be rotting off right through the cambium. Being a willow the other third was making a shot at growing fast enough to encapsulate the damage....See Moreslime mold, best I can surmise: ...l'il help?
Comments (11)first.. NEVER USE A CHEMICAL UNTIL YOU ID THE PROBLEM.. AND VERIFY THAT THE CHEMICAL IS RATED FOR THE PROBLEM... its a waste of money .. and dangerous ... second... why destroy part of mother natures garden show.... that was a free plant... you should have reveled in it .. for its own beauty ... is a plant only good for your garden.. if you pay for it???? it is either there because of your watering techniques or the mulch ... if in fact it is a slime mold .... research the slime mold.. and find out why its there.. if it is too much water ... or improper drainage ... then all you need do is to change how you water.. to make it not reappear ... in other words.. there never was a need for the chemicals ... please ... learn to enjoy a 'free' plant in your garden ... mushrooms are my favorite .... growwing on some long dead tree root.. pop up here or there... i used to be like you .... running out and getting rid of them because they interfered with my garden .. then i took a zen attitude about it all .. and come to find out.. they are cool ... and that is what i would think about the slime mold... did you actually get down on your belly and study it ... its probably really cool ... good luck ken...See MoreTwitch grass
Comments (1)Twitch grass is also known as Couch Grass, and Quack Grass, and a number of other names some of which I can't use here. The most effective means of control I have found is to work at pulling up all of the rhizome the plants send out since those rhizomes will produce a new plant about every 6 inches which then grows into a clump of grass. There are some that will suggest using one of the glyphosate products which I have not found to be worth the cost....See More'Side affects' or what to do about my red neck
Comments (8)The tomatoes have nothing to do with it. Oddly enough, acidic fruits do not make your stomach more acid. More likely it was the lamb and I am wondering how much was a little. Don't eat late at all. Eat a LIGHT dinner EARLY. This problem by the way is why agrarian cultures eat a big lunch and small, snack-like dinner. The post-industrial commuter culture is what causes acid reflux to be a fairly common problem, that used to be rare. Just as Hoosier Cherokee recommended, SIGNIFICANTLY cut the fat in your diet. Fat is hard to digest. Of course you need fat in your diet; give preference to natural, unsaturated fats like those in nuts and whole grains. Olive oil is good and Canola oil OK. Don't eat too much fried food; frying saturates the fat, which is why if you reuse oil too many times it solidifies. Eat more tomatoes, and actually even better, significantly more LEAFY vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, and other fibrous vegetables. These will slow down your digestion. Eliminate alcohol until the problem is solved, and drink only in moderation thereafter. Drink filtered water, preferably after boiling it (tea, for instance). Don't drink sugary drinks either. Sleep so that your upper body is higher than your lower body (figure out how to do this...you might be able to buy a wedge to put under your matresses). It doesn't have to be much. Gravity is what keeps the acid in your stomach and not up in your throat--most of the time, except when you are sleeping. Your esophagus will need to heal, or the problem will get worse. Right now the sphincter separating the esophagus from your stomach is probably weak and too loose. I suggest NOT taking antacids or proton inhibitors (Prilosec, Zantac, etc). The reason is that altering the pH of your GI tract can cause your intestinal flora to change for the worse. The acid-loving "good" bacteria will die off, and nastier bacteria will take their place. I am speaking from personal experience as pill-pushing doctors perscribed proton inhibitors for "acid indigestion" that turned out to be a hiatal hernia that nearly killed me. Contrary to their advice that proton inhibitors are "safe" and "have no side effects", among other things they interfere with digestion and kill off the "friendly" bacteria in the gut, making it more congenial to harmful bacteria which cause MORE GI problems....See Morelily316
