(OP) User ID: 11733952 United States 05/04/2012 09:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The sun + weakening magnetosphere = lots of organic matter dying off Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9321583 I had all kinds of thoughts run through my mind. After all, I'm on GLP. From radiation, to sun, to the frost. I just don't feel comfortable putting my veggies in the ground now until I feel certain they won't be a danger to my family and I.

You ones are being lied to about Fukashima. There is increased radiation in this world, and some of it of course is all the radiation from all the detonations of bombs etc, etc. But the larger increase is COSMIC, we are now in the energies from the Center of the Milky Way which are loaded with gamma rays. These will remodel the DNA on earth. |

Spray the plants with water for about two minutes. If you have a feeder type sprayer, add 3 or 4 drops of Dawn dish detergent to the sprayer, turn on the water and hose everything down. The dish detergent will help to disperse the chemicals. Also, check for mite infestations. Insects can damage leaves and cause the plants to defoliate. |

If it's on the whitish side, I would make a very strong solution of baking soda and spray the bejebus out of it; all sides, even under. It worked for me. |

It is completely non-toxic and has been on the market for 50 years. The inventor, Dr. Thompson, was the first guy who ever messed around with plant hormones. It is vitamins and hormones and you can use it with or without a fertilizer. Fertilizer or plant food is like you had dinner, SuperThrive is like you took a vitamin pill with your dinner. I can get it at a discount chain here, a lot of independent garden centers sell it or you can get it any number of places online. You only use a quarter teaspoon per gallon when watering, or for trees and shrubs you can do a one time stronger application. It really reduces stress on plants, and you can see it right away! It's the best stuff ever and an industry mainstay, growers and garden centers use it and reduce their shrinkage to zero. Landscapers use it to prevent transplant shock. SuperThrive ROCKS. Your plants will thank you. |

Thanks for the ideas! Quoting: Do you see what I see Least you kinda got an answer, GL OP. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |
