Hi,
At the moment I have the gardening fever...the sun comes out the birds twitter.. you know...
So I would like to share my experience and some ideas for organic gardening. ( Pest control, manuring).
Pest control... Lava stones:
I´ve always had problems with coccids and other vermin's on my oleander and other big
plants in jars, now I fill the jars with small lava stones mixed with soil, on the
top I fill the jars with a thick blocking layer of lava stones, so you have a good water reservoir and a bad nutrient solution for vermin's.
Impregnated lava stones (with lavender or citrus oil) , are also a big help against snails, they don´t like the smell.
Manuring + pest fighting.... Fieldhorstail extract
I use this for manuring (especially for my plants in jars) Fieldhorstail extract is boosting the
defensive forces of the plants against vermin's and fungus.
Components of the extract are: Fieldhorstail, tensy haulm, wormwood, onions and Humusextract.
Manuring for fruit trees and plants.... castor oil plant shred.
The shred is a good alternative to animal nitrogen ( horn shavings), for signs of fatigue of
the trees/plants, you can mix the shred under the soil regularly.

Happy gardening !
