Update....

I forgot I posted on this site...my posts can be found on Gardenweb. The Majesties: 3 weeks ago, one of my Gardener's helpers threw powdered weed killer all over the grass and Majesties. It had zero effect on the grass but the Majesties turned yellow with in a week. I left them alone to see if any ...

Howdy Jim!

I believe it was he who contacted me on GardenWeb. He offered his help testing my formula because he had access to a walk-in freezer. I was grateful for his offer but I told him that you can make my formula without a specific machine used in Labs. The one I own costs $2000.00. So it really wasn't ...

Hey Mike!

I really think-based on the feedback that I have gotten from growers, the copper fungicide would work well enough if the rest of the palm is protected by a formula that covers everything else.

That's what the copper fungicide is for.

Chad...you just hit upon what I think is the biggest issue. The Mid-Atlantic region of which you reside in, is exposed to a ton of moisture be it coming up from the South or across from the West. Here in NY, we are dominated more by the Arctic express coming down from Canada and that is usually a ...

Thanks Guys!

Hey Chad! Hey Barb! Didn't know about this site, but it seems a lot of the same people from GardenWeb are on here as well. Erik is sending me a Mule to run tests on and I hope it is successful because they sure are nice. I'm ordering a CIDP, Butia C & E, Med Fan, Wash. Filifera, Mexica Fan and a ...

Thanks Barb

The people I've met via sites like this and Gardenweb are so wonderfully kind, positive and supportive. It's a wonderful cyber community to be involved with! I will keep you in the loop on my progress...history tells me that there are still many failures and adjustments to make before/if I come up ...

Thanks Barb

No alcohol...although I wont discount that it may add some value. It may also be created by the palms itself from synthesizing natural sugars. Natural sugars definitely as it provides energy to the cells. I have a couple of active ingredients that play a key role. All I can say at this point, most ...

Good Luck Wxman. A win for you is a win for all.

I am having great success with my mix. I've tested it out on grass the past 3 winters in Zone 7 here on Long Island and have had amazing results. The grass is green and grows throughout the winter. I'm approaching it from a different angle than you. I'm focusing on the palm's metabolic rate to ...
