Some farmers would scatter egg shells around their plants. Apparently snails do not like to walk over them. Perhaps, the sharp edges of the crushed shell hurt their underside.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136354003276435786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671785126984603202.post-63636336391340231742011-08-20T21:15:11.394+08:002011-08-20T21:15:11.394+08:00Hey Justin,

...Hi Lee, the FB link you provided is not working. <br /><br />Yup, urine is great fertilizer. My mom also use urine on her plants. I haven't used urine on my chili plants yet. I wonder how come I never thought about that! I suppose I'm busy trying/experimenting with other bio fertilizers. <br /><br />You can email me your photo to G8harvest@live.com.myAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136354003276435786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671785126984603202.post-44155888495624940912011-07-01T19:47:04.929+08:002011-07-01T19:47:04.929+08:00yesterdays article in the daily News prompted me t...yesterdays article in the daily News prompted me to write this article ...

I am not joking with you she pours human urin miked with water onto the roots and they appear heartier and greener than before. We also do it to our Eggplant (aubergine, melongene, brinjal,) and the fruit is 4Xs the normal size. There is something that these plants love about it. I'm not sure about dog urin so don't get upset if fido lifts his leg. I wouldn't introduce any food residue like eggs they will surely attract pest.(i.e red ants) Please post more about what is causing the blight-black-spots? is it aphids or spider? I post a photo on this later...the urin trick really does work.

I'm planning to pound some egg shells (for calcium)and apply them as fertilizer but I haven't gotten around to do it because I've been preparing the farm for transplanting of more chili plants. <br /><br />The friend who told me that is an experience farmer & he has done many farm projects successfully. Hence, I'm pretty sure his diagnostic is spot on. <br /><br />You might want to add this trace element(calcium) to your fertilize regime. <br /><br />Tell me whether it worked for you. Thanks for dropping by.<br /><br />Cheerio :D<br /><br />JustinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136354003276435786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671785126984603202.post-67429572055751011952011-03-15T16:18:03.041+08:002011-03-15T16:18:03.041+08:00Hey Justin,

They seem to grow fine for a while and then suddenly wrinkle up at the top of the plant. I've been through many theories but there doesn't seem to be a consistent cause. I'm on top of the aphids and there's no whitefy to speak of.<br /><br />The only culprit I can see (with the help of a magnifying glass!) is spider mites. There's not many though (no webbing either) so I'm not sure if this is the cause.<br /><br />If you get any clues as to what's going on then please do pass them on!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />PaulTipsy Tipsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800410236382121370noreply@blogger.com
