Re: Twists and Turns in the Dragon's Tale

Kevin,
Are you saying there is some correlation between aphids an mildew?  Fortunately I received my shipment of 4500 ladybugs yesterday (aphids are eating my corn and roses).  Anyone in the area need ladybugs?  I really didn't mean to get so many...

All I can do is cut off it's water supply.

PLEASE DON'T CUT OFF THE WATER !!!
I did this on my 791 Glasier that was putting on 20 to 24 lbs a day. NOT A
GOOD IDEA !!! the stem was cracking, multiple cracks every day and I was so
lost as to why so I reduced the water and BAM !!!! The aphids came in and
brought there good OLE friend powdery mildew. After a heavy application of
the appropriate chemicals my 791 stopped at 418 lbs and my weigh off is not
until yours at Half Moon Bay October 9th. the lower water rates set me up for
failure in a big way. You just may have to risk the cracks...... Good luck
!!!!!!!!
