@J.Musser, gawd blimey, no good being anything other than entirely accurate with you is there, can't risk doing a 'shorthand' thing - when I said 'asking where the questioner is' what I meant was, pointing out or alluding to the fact that we didn't know where the questioner was... the way I put it originally was to make it shorter...
In other words, it wasn't meant to be taken absolutely to the letter literally... but simply to convey a sense of something... Your profile views aren't that much different from Kevinsky's - maybe people don't bother to look at profiles of people who have high rep? Can't think of a reason otherwise
@J.Musser Spam Bots? Forget it...you said you were going to get me your address...anyhoo, The costs for Gro-Co are: $20.95/yard picked up; $23.20/yard x10 yard minimum delivered; $32.45/yard blown in place. I will put an answer on Pros and Cons of different mulches...and as for profiles, when I've looked at others profiles a lot of them were blank or mostly so...
@J.Musser I've been busy with canning, lately and I am working on a landscape project with a stack exchange client that we'll be presenting on this site in a month or two. Finally, something for the landscaping part of our site! We do need to help clients ask questions and shouldn't have to play detective as to their zone or anything else. Couldn't there be a list of questions for them to answer before they write their questions?
Gardening is such a web of interconnecting fields that one can attempt answering by making lots of assumptions. I don't see why an answer can't ask questions as well to prompt the OP to interact a bit more. This is in an effort to educate as well and simple questions with simple answers isn't an accurate representative of gardening. We are all getting educated not just the OP, but readers and more importantly us gardeners.
This is the first time I've actually been in this room with someone else...I think. Even saw you 'come into the room' with your tree, great tree by the way...
Ethan, I am a Landscape Architect and I'm kinda retired and I've been waiting for a question such as yours. I'd like to try to communicate via this site to show the process of designing the landscape. A low-maintenance landscape is one that is well designed. A poor design is simply going to be...
I am in the UK and my cucumber and melon plants have started wilting. I used to water them twice a week and increased the frequency to once every two days since they started fruiting.
They were planted in May and were growing well until two weeks ago when they started wilting. I am not sur...
@J.Musser try this...there should be a category saying that the question needed more clarification and OP has abandoned the site and thus we close the question versus saying it is too broad....I'm reading now...grin!
@J.Musser That would be a good, possible answer. Very possible. He might have powdery mildew going, though. Advanced case, in conjunction with root rot, bacterial wilt...powdery mildew drives me nuts!
@J.Musser Again, I kind of agree...grin. A lot of questions sounded well thought out and specific, though, but we needed more information and people should see that there has to be an OP that interacts.
@J.Musser Oh, you know this guy? Ohhhhh, it is JoJo! Gal? grin. You are right, she would notice that...what could you ask to get more definitive about bacterial wilt? Pull up the plant and take pics of roots? Could we tell in a photo?
@stormy The little green notification at the top of the page.
@stormy ?
I asked a question on earth science, about where helium deposits came from, and got a great answer.
The most rep I'd have got in one day would be 395, but it got capped at 230. You really can get rep without doing anything, and it's hard to keep track of, but it's fun to see how much people trust your answers.
@J.Musser I got it, hate to look like such an airhead. But maybe I am!! I can be for sure. I love earth science, haven't posited any questions yet. I just learned about one of the biggest reasons for CO2 increase. I'm going to use that for my first question...and it involves us gardeners and farmers!
@J.Musser Absolutely, and check out the Chemtrail thing there as well. Sites as this one ARE helping people check out their 'realities'...main stream media has systematically, on purpose been brainwashing us all. Nuf said. Grin. I can be an airhead, I am very different and sometimes I have to really focus to communicate with normals. If I don't (you yourself have commented on the rabbit hole), I lose the communication and thus the 'airhead' or worse 'high'! It's OK!!
@J.Musser oh my still laughing. Wait...this isn't sounding quite right...I need and I think most people do besides just words and punctuation is body language. When I say things in just words it sounds so sterile...I can't help myself. Egg Shell dust? Calcium...did they do a test for lack of calcium?
Pest control??? Good grief...please look this up! I've got so much going on in my greenhouse I've got to go take care of things. I made salsa last night and WOW! I'll have to post a recipe in the cooking arena.
@stormy I would coffee-grind old eggshells, and dust them over my small sassafras tree that's being skeletonized by Japanese beetles, and note results, if any, and how long they last. I too am doubtful. Even DE would work better.
I'll let you go...this was very much fun chatting in time! You are doing an incredible job, J. Musser! We all know how much time and effort this takes!! Oh, you should get a second, unaffected sassafras tree to include in your experiment, possibly a third as control...and you'd end up with a grove!!
