***THE FARMERS CHED***

[nervewrecker]

Risk wah? I'll run on water and break the laws of physics to escape that snake.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

only Sangre Grande hospital have remedy for that

Only hospital in the country that has it???

so they say...I honestly don't know why

Heard talk that princess town might have.

I would honestly like some health official to confirm this....

[marlener]

Seeing more and more snakes recently, we was joking that someone will have to suck out the poison.

[lipstick war]

how much lbs do you guys pull of a single cabbage?

[X_Factor]

@X-Factor from here looks like an incidence of spray drift of fertilizer burn. When spraying consider the time of day when spraying. Best in cooler parts of the day, less wind. Simple as this, water settling on leaves at mid day is almost as bad as magnifying glass on leave = burn. When mixing make sure and use recommended rate and don't add an extra umph to the measurement (feel yuh hand heavy) just saying.

i did use some sunquat a couple days before but that was done at 6.30am, almost no wind...also plants that are to the end of the row also shows the spot in places the herbicide could not reach if it was drift....
but at the same time, i would like it to be herbicide drift as it would pretty much get better on as the plant matures....as for fertilizer burn...thats pretty hard to accomplish using the a highly soluble 20-20-20 blend and the mix i use...yeah i know about mixing extra..lol
if i used urea or so i would understand....

so i used the mancozeb and that will follow up with a polyram or some other fungicide + insecticide for the army worms etc

You are overfertilizing by throwing to many things at your plants,those snake oil products like liquid litter are design to only take your money and cause problems.All you need is a balance nutrition from start to finish e.g 30-10-10 or 20-20-20.

Take a read up on plant nutrition,try Xenten for worm control.

[hustla_ambition101]

Fellas, what can I use to improve topi tambo yields? Used to get much more in the old days when my pops used to plant

[Chimera]

I well say liquid litter is a bess product

[lipstick war]

I well say liquid litter is a bess product

I see you got caught up in the hype also,what these "cool" friendly agro merchants do is brainwash people into buying "cute" labeled rocket fuel products to grow,which they all FAIL.

ABA what are you growing this year??

[X_Factor]

well boy, i was using the liquid litter for the past 6 mths on rotation with the bio20 on some small home garden crops and i thought the results were pretty good ( mainly chive and celery)
so thats why i continued using them...

i honestly dont think they are over fertilized since the plant doesnt show signs of such
what i know i did badly was mixing the army worm insecticide a bit too strong and that messed up some plants...

Nothing yet. Its impossible to get workers and i really can't do the work myself for medical reasons. Feel i just gonna dash pumpkin seed all over and give away whatever grow.

I had to bring a whole paw paw crop completely on my own. 600 trees. Had to fertilize,mistblow,spray,water(irrigation hose), and weedwacker grass completely on my own. Plus go to normal work everyday monday to saturday.

At the time i planted the crop i had a fulltime worker. As soon as crop done plant he decide he's a full time drinker and he buss out.

I admit i like seeing things grow though. So idk,i wouldn't mind doing back a whole field of paw paw......but the workers is the issue

[marlener]

Anyone knows where I can purchase diatomaceous earth locally?

[black start]

inside for info!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Anyone knows where I can purchase diatomaceous earth locally?

any well established garden shop should carry it....

caribbean chemicals is a good place to try

[X_Factor]

u may find that in bhags, farfan, home store, home mart
what ya using it for btw?....hydroponics?

[marlener]

No I used it as an organic pest control, tried some and it worked well. Tried a couple agriculture shops, some didn't even know what it was. Nevile and Motee didn't have will check bhagwansingh tomorrow.

[X_Factor]

little test plot of corn with the sunstar hybrid from C Chemicals
really impressive corn thus far

[NR8]

Looks really good. What was the price of a plant?

[X_Factor]

^ its about 30-35 seeds i got as a sample to try
they usually sell corn seeds not plants...i heard this variety is quite expensive so im waiting to see what the cobs/yield look like and decide if to plant maybe a lot of land in it

[NR8]

Thanks for the info. Keep us updated with the yield.

[X_Factor]

some chive and celery @ 3weeks
gettin reall stress with the celery and the spots ( septoria/cercospora)
everyone says to try bellis, but at 110$ a pack, its not feasable to use on 50 plants

[marlener]

I checked ft farfan in Arima and Bhagwansingh, neither had the diatomaceous earth. Bhagwansingh said they don't sell pesticides or chemical. Trincity branch on the highway. So much for established places. Will check Caribbean chemical next.

[hustla_ambition101]

Dude call Carlsen Chemicals also, take the directory and see who else

[X_Factor]

i doubt those places will sell that since they pretty much sell their own brand of chemicals

raptor and amazon?

[marlener]

Well persons here recommended those places so I tried them, I could bring it myself but wanted to compare the price.
