  • squash bugs, get a bernzomatic hand torch(type you use to sweat copper or a brulé torch would work too) and burn them and their eggs off. be diligent about it and you may triple your harvest. it helps to have all your squash growing on trellis and off the ground. I inspect mine 2-3 times a week. I check under each leaf and stem. the plants usually wilt a bit from the flame but are generally unfazed by being torched. on rare occasions the infestation was too much and I just cut off pieces and burned them.

    seven dust with a squeeze bulb applicator takes care of the squash bugs, tomato caterpillars, ants, etc. I also have one with diatomaceous earth. this is also helpful to squirt some inside the hollow tubes of squash plants.

    light applications of fungicides early when you see it. if that doesn't work, trim and/or burn the plants with it. as with any fungus, dampness and humidity helps it grow/spread, this means water directly and not over the leaves. as a last resort you could probably mix up a light copper acetate mixture which is used as a fungicide on treated lumber. just keep the solution under 3% and wash your produce well after harvest. also don't do this unless you know exactly what you're doing as it can kill your plants, poison your soil, and make you sick if you do it too close to harvest.

    I have also heard that a 1/1 mix of water and vinegar can stop white mildew.

    if chemicals aren't your thing, use some oils like mint and eucalyptus. spray around the plants not on the plants. the oils can close up stomata and suffocate your plant. a mist spray is more than enough. I usually do a mix of 1 gallon of water 1 teaspoon of oils(combined) and 1/3 cup of liquid Castile soap. this can help deter some insects and pests like squirrels, rabbits, deer, etc.

    I have also had some success using predator urine to keep deer out. it works if you're vigilant, but wears off quickly. best way to stop the deer is to sit outside at night with a slingshot and clay shot tbh. after a couple weeks they'll not come back for a few months until they forget.

  • by performing any medical intervention you are responsible for the care of the individual. this includes if you aren't even a doctor and are simply first aid certified.

    don't blame the doctors, blame the politicians and lawyers who made the laws.

  • and clearly by flying spirit they don't make sound life decisions.

    however, same can be said for the doctor.... so maybe they will speak up?

  • as someone who has worked in a pet store, this is accurate.

    gampa, tastes better than the shit floating around.

  • did we?

    I see a bunch of warehouses burning...

    maybe we're going to speed run everything in a few months until we get to WW3.

  • Israel has the right to exist.

    Just not where it is currently.

    It can exist in the minds and hearts of terrible people.

  • sounds like you might have a good idea.

  • can't pull Ubuntu away from all the plebs who think it's the best OS in the world.

    meh, at least it's not Microsoft. not much better, but still slightly better.

  • fetishists wet dream right here.

    don't tell real doll.

  • I sure as shit can. everything from the materials, the glue, even the paint.

    manufacturing uses the best-cheapest shit. handmade makes shit with whatever they want. big difference.

  • the worse flaws in people affect the best people.

    you did good, hope you were able to help yourself after that.

  • if a fan was stuck in my ass I'd be a windmill.

  • I'm sorry that my country is such a piece of shit to good people.

    I wish there were more people like you in it.

  • seems you're tuning in still...

  • not enough jizz for your liking?

    edit: just to clear things up, when you are an "influencer" you're no different than a whore. you just don't get paid directly by your johns.

  • our brains are wired for survival entirely based on observations we don't even realize our brains are making.

    a good study of this tested people with TBIs that severed their left and right hemispheres, thus making them independent lobes that could not directly communicate (or so scientists thought).

    the study would show people two pictures to each eye independently. the subjects could only see one. when asked questions about the picture they would reference the one they couldn't see.

    for example: picture one was of a chicken coop, and picture two was of a snow shovel. when asked how they would clean the coop, the subject answered "snow shovel". when asked why a "snow shovel" the subject became confused and sometimes frustrated because they couldn't express why they didn't just say "shovel".

    study found that even though you can't comprehend everything around you, that doesn't mean your brain is unaware of everything around you.

    some people are more in-tune with this and seem to have a sixth sense, when in reality everyone has the ability to they just failed to train their access to it.
