      Local garden centers and hardware stores? I'll go in and ask for specifics like bird seed without shinny glyphosate sprayed on the bird seed. They really get interested when customers are disappointed. They look into the products when they've never heard of it. It's worth a try. Shipping costs are through the roof, even for seeds.

    Last year I had serious issues with squash beetles and with “holey” eggplant leaves, to the extent that I had zero harvest. A local master gardener recommended the kaolin clay-and this year, I’m using it on all my squash, eggplant, and watermelon. Thanks for reinforcing what was mentioned to me earlier-I’m expecting to actually have healthy plants and a decent harvest this year. James, thanks for all that you and Tuck do!

      @@jessrob0205 I am in Zone 8a (Atlanta GA Metro) as well. The kaolin clay works quite well! I did two treatments spaced two weeks apart on all my squash, eggplant, and watermelon. No squash bugs--I did find one squash beetle on one plant (which I of course killed by hand) and a very slight amount of damage, but after treating with the clay there was not a recurrence. Nice to not see ANY eggs or larvae on the underside of my squash leaves--very different from last year. The eggplant leaves look better than ever. I've already harvested one ichiban eggplant, and the black beauty eggplant has a ton of flowers. As others have commented, the 25 lb bag of kaolin clay isn't cheap ($50 plus just over $40 to ship from the West Coast), but IMHO is worth every penny for its effectiveness and the fact I'll be able to use it for many years going forward.

I sprayed last night, peaches, squash, watermelons, cucumber and loofah seedlings. It rose to 99 today, and they were not distressed! Thanks to you, I think I'll get zucchini for the first time in 5 years! Zone 7b, we have every pest under the sun. Hugs to Tuck.
    I would also like to mention that I have sprayed my peach and nectarines twice so far, so it does last a long time. Surround has actually saved me money, since I don't need to use so many other pest management products.

      Diatomaceous Earth kills everything. Sucks the moisture right out of worms and can kill pollinators too. It doesn't discriminate. And things like Neem oil are also dangerous for pollinators and other creatures. It damages the endocrine systems of bees and butterflies. I plant things that attract predatory insects- they eat the insects that eat my plants. Lemon balm and marigolds have worked really well.

      The link he provided has 25lbs for 84.95 plus shipping. I realize it has a long shelf life but it would take me forever to get through that much. At $100 is too expensive for the average home gardener. I saw another garden channel use it he said it occurs naturally on his property.

      If you buy tomato clips from Amazon, they aren’t all the same. Some have no teeth at the hinge to grip trellis string, some have poor quality control and have plastic bits that have to be removed for the clip to work. Unfortunately, all of the sellers use the same pictures so it’s impossible to know what you’re getting.

    This product in a slurry, would be as good as the ancestor's use of latex paint in white washing fruit and nut orchard trunks and branches. With the latex's ugly taste, it also provides white shading of dark barked trees (sunburned plums, cherries, ...). Insects crawling up the trees are noticed by the birds and eaten. White washing the bark and infilling spots, cracks, and pores stops insect burrowing and destroying one's trees. Kaolin white washing also stops and slows down mold, mildew, fungus, and moss infections being imported from insects and tweeties feet onto the branches. White washing the trees with kaolin clay makes for intelligent operations, and is easier to apply than latex paint sprayed on, and splashing all over the ground (not good).

    • @johnlord8337
      @johnlord8337 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      One ~could~ also provide a ground white washing skirting around one's trees, out to the furtherest branches and twigs as the "drip line." The white ground would stop greater sunburn and overheating of the ground, heat strees of the tree's roots and rootlets, stopping crawling insects getting to trees, and stopping various molds etc from growing around the tree.

    Canadian here. After looking all over for it in Canada with no luck, I finally saw Surround at the nursery where I picked up my fruit trees back in April and sadly, I passed it over. Normally, I bag my apples (I just have a few espaliered apples so it's not too cumbersome) but this year, I missed the timing and the plum curculio got to many of them before I did. Lesson learned. Next year, I'll definitely get the Surround and give it a try.

    Loads of LOVE for James & TUCK! I used to see the fruit trees and other things sprayed like this in Michigan & Wisconsin when I lived there & never really knew what it was. I'm in far south Australia now and my fruit trees get blighted with leaf borers, stink bugs and even coddling moth - not to mention possums & parrots - not sure the Kaolin would stop those large varmints, but they would certainly help those other little beasts. Now, to see if I can find such a thing in my garden stores in Tasmania. Thanks for sharing - another gem in your gardening crown!
