Yeah, that’d be my guess too. There’s a swarm of strawberry root weevils out here that look just like them bastards except grey/silver. Wasn’t aware of the insecticidal action of JWA tho, that’s good stuff. Glad to hear it worked.
I’ve probably asked before, but you brew anything with the hops you grow?
Haven’t brewed with my own hops yet but could though been out of the home brewing scene for a long time, one year I harvested a lot from the mother plant years ago but never did it.
Just an update on the girls ! Will probably top a few places here and there seems like the stretch has started getting pretty good growth now with the warmer evenings
I should make some of that for the raspberry and BlackBerry Bush’s I have at my place. Two years ago the Beatles were so bad we only got about half what we should have.
So I been battling weeds for the last 3-4 days now and have used the weed killer “Spectracide” alone by its self , today I’m trialing normal concentration dilutions with 2-3 oz of JWA / gallon to help with the spreading and sticking effect that the soap provides ,here’s the test subject along with many other weed species my neighbor has provided me over the years to practice on ! Will see if the wilt time has decreased on the effectiveness of the weed killer!
Yea used it before with success some plants seem to be more stubborn than others so I decided to try some something different will probably follow up with a compost tea to help neutralize any negative effects the chemicals may impart on the soil.
Long term use of vinegar/Acetic acid is not good for the soil either, but you can just buy 30% Acetic acid.
It’s cheaper then buying vinegar, and it’s the Acetic acid in the vinegar that kills the weed.
