| Hi everyone, my name is Jim, and I have quite a bit of gardening experience. I’ve been the manager of both wholesale and retail nurseries, Assistant Professor of Ornamental Horticulture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the head gardener for several private estates, a plant breeder, and I'm listed in Who’s Who in America. I've got a rose pruning video out and am almost done with my first book
I'd like to help answer questions if I may. I'm glad to be a part of the Dave's Garden forums! |

| Welcome Jim we need all the help we can get for sure by people that know. You may want to respond to the hydrangia question as I advised as an amiteur would. Get in there and help make the world a more beautiful place. Your expertise will be welcome and you will meet some pretty intelligent folks and then some dummies like me that still like to learn. |

| Hey Jim...welcome aboard. How would you approach Mealyworms or an insect that appears to be wrapped in cotton and shows up as tiny white specks on violets, coleus and actually killed a couple of citrus trees. This is all an indoor problem I have never seen to this time in my brief indoor growing experience? I have BT, Neem Oil, Warrior D and Spectricide in stock. I would make a one pot test to know any effort would not be the wrong application for violets.
Let me know by D mail the book you are into. I enjoy a good read in the arena of "how to" of almost any gardening interest. I hope you will consider writing as a Dave's Garden article writer. We have some really good writers here but there is always room for excellence within our site.
My major interest and experience is best stated as one who has practiced 98% organic principles. The other two percent I save for the occasions when a small spot cries for immediate attention outside of organic principles. I profess to be a pretty darn good soil builder. I love counting worms. LOL
This site will take as much of your time as you are willing to share. Thank you for your presence. |
