What liquid fertilizer can I use for my grapes that have horn worms in the soil. i found two big ones on the branches. I removed all the grape curl leaves and sprayed it down with water.

[@off-gridsimplyhappyrodriguez]

New watcher thank you for the info, where are you located?

[@karenchristian9204]

Thank you so much for the visual on what to look for on the leaf miner. You're a good teacher. I went out to inspect my citrus and I'm happy to say I don't have any yet. I know this is off the subject, however, I've been having a problem with my container strawberries. When they get ripe and I pick them there are pinholes in them. The containers are on shelves and I don't see signs of slugs and I think it's too hot in NorCal for the birds to come out. I'm a novice gardener (for now :) and only have a few strawberries to pick at any given time and it's becoming frustrating not to enjoy at least one strawberry. Can you help shed light on this? PS. I have your IV Organics but didn't use it for my container avocado trees and the sun fried half the foliage. Will do better next time.

[@johnsmith-qe2fd]

Wow, I just learned way more than watching “this old house” and citrus trees. They mentioned neem oil but that was it; you go way in depth and I subscribed to your channel awhile back and I’m glad I did. They did show how to make tree tea which kept hearing about but I actually thought it was real tea. Funny. Thank you for posting!!👍🏻

[@ceciliaarias3379]

I just find your video….thanks so much…it’s very educational and informative…I’m a subscriber now..hello from Los Angeles.

[@johnmanera4097]

I have a Meyer lemon in a large container, although it’s only small with not many leaves, but I noticed citrus leaf miner on a few leaves. I removed the affected leaves. I have a West Indian lime which has a lot more foliage and citrus leaf miner is very prevalent on the young leaves. I am usually removing the affected leaves or cutting the branches. The lime tree is about 3 years old and is producing some fruit.

[@johnmanera4097]

I may consider neem oil but will just live with the problem for the moment.

[@pdiscool]

Hi Charles! Love the videos! Question on my young fig trees. Having a hard time distinguishing if I have under or over watered. Do you know what the difference between a fig leaf curling upward on itself as opposed to it curling downward? Also do you have a comprehensive video on leaf characteristic and the meaning such as under or over watering and nutrient deficiency? Thanks

[@frankdavidson9675]

add water to 1 tree see if it helps then you know you are under watering if it gets whorse you are over watering

Hi Charles .. I really liked this video because I faced the problem of Citrus Leaf Curl (Miners).... just a question ..what was your experiece to get rid of this leaf curly using neam oil did it stopped or did you find any other solution to this ... this will be really help from your side to safe my citrus Mandarine ... thanks

Hello Ani, Since this publication, I have removed any artificial feeders. Check out this product that I used for a short time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3a8hHZ3adSlqMk The best thing to do is plant native plants that feed the hummingbirds, such as California fuchsia. I'll share the results with all later this summer. Thank you for the feedback! Charles :-)

[@stormysampson1257]

What a beautiful demonstration of leaf miners! Perfect example. You must be in California? Yes? The two products that you classified as inorganic are actually organic nonetheless. But the main point is that these two products are not SPECIFIC to one insect. So they kill ALL insects, life in the soil disrupting any harmony. Benefiials keep harmful pests at bay and in control. I am a pesticide applicator licensed for 30 + years. I am so glad you told people to use this stuff in the evening or at night! I don't care what it says on the MSDS sheets...I keep chemicals like Neem sprayed properly at night only! Our bees are in trouble.

[@momepenni]

Have a question. I have a young avocado tree, a few of the branches have small black spots. Is this a sign of a fungus of some kind and how do I treat it??????? The leaves are ok. They are last year’s growth and will be dying off to make way for the new. It is March and the new growth is just barely coming out, I don’t know what kind of avocado tree it is. It has fruit already. The flowers are real small. It get these long bushes of flowers. It did it all winter. This is Mexico, so it didn’t get very cold. It is a new tree, I just planted it late summer. First year for me. I white washed most of the branches right after I got it. What I did was not affect with the black spots. Please answer me. You never have in the past. I am hoping.

[@madalineduran2776]

Charles, just wondering if you spray more completely than in the video. I'm asking because I spray much more completely covering the leaves until dripping. Thank you

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Madaline Duran, Yes, I do spray more completely, and until dripping, and both sides of the leaves. I'm always trying to keep the video going... But I'll be sure to emphasize the importance of thoroughly covering the leaves, stems and trunk surfaces when treating for pests. Thank you for the clarification! Charles :-)

Please e-mail any concerns to us at [e-mail]. Make sure the product is shaken well. Also, you can add more or less concentration by mixing your own batch using the pint-size can that makes up to 22+ spray bottles! Let me know if you have any other questions. Charles 🙂

Hi, thanks for sharing Neem oil for plants. My apple tree has been suffering serious stings on almost each apple by insects which causes very bad crop. Some KZbinr say to use organic Neem oil + organic soap as a solution to spray on trees to control damage from insects. What is your comments? Per your experience, when is a good or best to use Neem oil spray? Thanks.

[@brendanwarrick4978]

Long before eatting the fruit. If i remember correct it takes months for the UV to break it back down to safe to consume.

DO NOT PUT RED DYE in your hummingbird feeders. The fact you don't have that little detail correct gives me pause on any of your recommendations.

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Darryl, Checkout this publication that followed a few months after this particular video that discusses hummingbird feeders & care. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3a8hHZ3adSlqMk Further, my personal favorite practice is simply growing several California native plants that naturally attract hummingbirds, such as California fuchsia. Thank you. Charles :-)

I first started visiting India in the early 90's. I remember being stuck at a train station, waiting about 18 hours for a train that was late. It was just me and about 3000 other people. I noticed there were people selling small twigs that people would chew and use to scrub their teeth. Turns out the sticks were from the Neem tree and people were using them as disposable travel tooth brushes to clean and freshen their mouths. Who woulda thunk it but if it's okay to chew, it's probably safe and organic for your garden.

Maybe you should have made it clear about neem oil on ornamentals and not edibles given it's affect on the human body or at least the length of time it takes to break down to safe to consume.

[@danlefever6254]

Safe to consume in small amounts. Been Used to treat grain and ingested in India for 400 years

Thanks so much. one of the most important things that you said was to discard all infected leaves -- do not put diseased leaves into compose pile. Even though there's an extremely good chance that the heat and worms present in compost piles will likely kill or negative parasites it's not necessary to take that gamble.

[@berniem5763]

You mention maintaining flowers and monarch butterflies early on in this video, have you ever seen what neem does to monarch pupa? I don’t know citrus flowers to be particularly appealing to monarchs however they do visit many other nectar flowers are on their migration. I would not put neem on everything haphazardly, it should be used in moderation and only as needed. And as neem has systemic attributes, try to keep it away from any plant that polenators visit. Sometimes it’s best to just let a few leaves wilt or manually pick the wilted ones out if you don’t like them. With the risks to our bees and monarchs, many people should do more reading before slathering plants in chemicals, “organic” or not.

[@momepenni]

[@Denise-kl5xo]

He is so passionate about the care of his plants; I recently started using Neem because I wanted something organic or natural and the store supposedly were selling Neem that way, but looking at the bottle I noticed a bunch of other inactive ingredients that were not natural and some even had Glyphosate in them. They only put the main ingredient out there Neem, but a bunch of bad stuff was hidden from the public. So in a round about way, I decided to find out what some of the other inactive ingredients were and I'm glad I did because I changed my mind about buying it and decided I would simply use the main ingredient along with water or coconut oil or other ingredients I have from my essential oil collection. Always read your ingredients and if you don't know what it is, do some research. Those are usually the ones you need to watch out for. I prefer making up my own essential oil recipes instead anyway. Be delight and you and your plants will thrive.

[@Tx713281832]

Can anyone help me with my citrus tree? Mine has leaf miner and white fluffy stuff under all it's leafs. It's really bad would neem oil take care of all this?

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Tx713281832, Neem oil should correct all these problems. However, I am learning from people writing/ e-mailing me that there is different neem oil products on the shelf that are more effective than others (such as more refined and/ or cold pressed, etc). Depending on how the product is manufactured, has varying (more or less) effectiveness. I recommend that you start with neem... watch the results over the next 2-3 weeks, then alternate with a spinosad (bacteria base) product such as Captain Jack. Neem would be the "right punch" on those pests, and Spinosad will be the "left punch" on knocking out those pest problems. With leaf minors, you may need to continue the coat the youngest and tender leaves predominately from April/May- October/November, which is the season leaf minors are most active. Keep me posted on your garden successes! Charles :-)

Take 1 gallon of vinegar mixed with 1 cup of salt, and a squirt of dish soap to kill your weeds. Just spray it on them. Will kill your grass too. We use it for the places in between our bricks in our driveway and back patio to control our weeds. Works very quickly too.

I've just been squishing the leaf miners by hand as I see them, but it's not very reliable until the miners get larger and thus more easily squished. If neem oil can kill them even while they're small, then I think I'll resort to that instead.

Can neem oil prevent/help with ants?

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Conrad, Yes. Follow the direction on the label... which generally suggest using it as a drench near the root zone of the plant. In my experience, you will eliminate the ant colony, or more likely significantly reduce the ant populations for a few weeks, or so. Note, ants do have a place in the natural biology of your garden-- So only spot treat those ants you suspect may be causing harm to your plants or home. Keep me posted on your successes! Charles :-)

[@magre9656]

Neem oil helps with all the chewing insects. Besides the fact that neem oil suffocates insects which are covered by it it also tastes very bitter. Many insects are attracted by fragrant sap produced by the trees. They can smell the plants from far away/ But if the taste is bitter they would rather go somewhere else and leave your trees alone. And as Charles has also stated neem oil contains azadirachtin which messes with insects reproduction ability. So if they consume it a lot they will not be able to advance further or lay eggs. I have used neem oil on my orange trees quite successfully. In my area besides leaf miners we also have psyllids. They are really tiny flies which suck the juices from citrus leaves. After a thorough application of neem oil they left my tree alone. I even watched their behavior for some time. They land and try to bite. But fly away after several seconds as the taste of the fully covered with neem oil leaves is too bitter.
