    I looked up volcanic soils...
    Found that even Boron could get tied up, unavailable at times.
    Normally Boron is available in most low ph situations.
    Low ph locks up many nutrients like this video says. 👍👍🏝
    Low ph in these soils can also cause aluminum toxicity if the soil is loaded with it.

    E.B. Stone makes a Sulfer, Potassium, Magnesium product. It's pre-mixed. Since my citrus (lemon, lime and orange) trees are small but in raised, open bottom beds. I use this stuff reggularly. Any time I see some yellowing of the leaves I spread this stuff in the top 1-2 inches of dirt. Seems to do the trick. Thanks for posting this. Maybe I'll start using my wood ashes instead.

      Could be the same ph problems...
      Plums... Leaves only loom good in late winter and spring..
      Then, during summer, they seem to get rust disease and pests and lichens..
      Then, leaves drop in late September through October. It is not that cold.
      They seem sick to me.
      Hoping the lime makes them have a much longer growing season, instead of decline.
      Same 3,700 ft Kula property.
      (I think the hottest day of summer could be 80 to 82. 😁👍)
      They have Dorsett apples on a single tree.. Fruiting almost the entire year. I fed them and the tiny fruit are almost normal sizes, now.
      Oh, and curly citrus leaves are a problem.
      Not sure what mites or aphids.
      A little bit of leaf miners were spotted.

    Hi I re planted an 8 ft orange tree and it was very healthy looking a neighbor gave it to me so i dug it up and was able to get a massive rootball along with 8 or so very thick roots thati had to break in order to move it. The tree was moved 30 ft next door into my yard with all of its original soil. I dug a hole 3 ft deep by 4 ft wide square and put most of the loose soil back in as to set the tree up above the ground level approx 6 inches. 'raised bed' I also added a small bag of each regular cactus citrus all purpose soil , perlite , Cactus Citrus potting mix , fast draining mixed in with the original soil watered it very good. the ph is at 6.5 I also added a table spoon of vitamin b12 in a gallon of water to help with shock. after 2 months its starting to loose a couple of leaves a week. I'm sure its probably fine but the leaves are getting yellow veins then turn all yellow then dropping. its probably going through shock from the move. but my one mistake was listening to the neighbor telling me to cut of 75 % of its leaves as I dug it up. I'm learning the hard way here lol but doing my best. its been 2 months and all is well but will the leaves grow back in full this next season and will it grow the same amount of oranges as it did before? aprox 100 very sweet oranges , no seeds. Or should I let it settle in a year and get stronger roots and let it grow fruit the following year? its very hardy tree the root system is massive and strong and the trunk is 8 inches in diameter. its around 7 years old or so.. thank you for any help or information. just subbed. Johnny

    • @EatAndBeEatenHAWAII
      @EatAndBeEatenHAWAII  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Johnny. Yeah I doubt it will produce as many fruits this year due to the shock of transplanting and losing so many leaves. Best to take care of it like normal and be patient. A tree that size should be fine eventually.

      Hoping this man's Lime has started working for you.. Regular lime can take up to a year or two, sometimes..
      My first time, using faster pelletized lime (from Lowes), worked fairly quickly. Noticed greener leaves in a couple of weeks.
      Really soaked it in. Water turned milky gray.
      I expect them to get even greener.

    • @EatAndBeEatenHAWAII
      @EatAndBeEatenHAWAII  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely wrong.

    • @robertjohnson4401
      @robertjohnson4401 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@DanielAngelLuna 3 REASONS WHY CARBS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL
      Here’s where the argument that carbohydrates are essential starts to crumble:
      1. PROTEIN AND FAT CAN PROVIDE GLUCOSE
      The healthy human body is fully capable of reforming the amino acids from protein into glucose. Even the breakdown of fat for energy yields the tiniest bit of glucose. If an individual is eating enough calories, even if those calories are mostly from fat or protein, that person can still satisfy the glucose needs of their brain and blood cells and maintain their blood glucose at a normal level.
      2. CARBOHYDRATE DEFICIENCY DOESN’T RESULT IN ILLNESS
      Nutrition science defines a nutrient as “essential” if we must get it from the diet because our body can’t make enough of it to meet our needs. Deficiencies in protein, essential fats (linolenic and linoleic), vitamins and minerals all match up to an impairment or disease. This same phenomenon doesn’t exist with carbohydrates.
      3. IT’S POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE ON VERY LITTLE CARBOHYDRATES
      Reach outside the literature, and it’s easy to obtain anecdotal evidence of people who survive on very low-carbohydrate diets. (Note that we’re not taking into account sustainability or personal happiness when subsisting on these diets.)
      The Atkins diet advocates followers eat as little as 20 grams of carbohydrates per day! To give you an idea of what this means: 20 grams is the amount of carbs in 1 small (6-inch) banana.
      The classic ketogenic diet is 80-90% fat. It was originally used as a therapy for epilepsy but is now gaining popularity for use in weight loss.
      The traditional Inuit diet, which is what the natives of northern Canada subsisted on for many years, is empty of refined sugar and grains. Instead, there’s plenty of fresh seal, walrus and other marine life on the menu. A 1980s study of that diet found that it contained, on average, 23% calories from protein, 39% calories from fat and 38% calories from carbohydrates.
