Sank You Berry Mulch
September 29th, 2008One More Reason to Send Illegals Home
Guess how you keep yard guys from hitting your citrus trees with weedeaters? Here’s one thing that may be good to know: the answer is NOT mulch.
It is impossible to convey information to illegal-alien yard guys, and there is no other kind, so you have to make it impossible for them to do things you don’t like. I mulched my citrus because it was not possible to tell them not to skin it with their machines.
Turns out mulch creates a soggy environment which fungus loves, and then your trees rot. So I had to get rid of the mulch, and now I’m trying to kill the fungus on my beautiful lime tree. I painted it with copper and Daconil until it was blue.
I don’t know if it will live or not. Very frustrating. This neighborhood is like a fungus/mildew/algae zoo. My mamey is trying to die from red algae, regardless of how often I spray it.
This happened at a fine time, too. The precipitation probability was 90% today, and right now, the humidity is 84%. When I walk outside for more than ten seconds, mold grows on my face. I’m pretty sure.
One more example of how no one in Miami can do ANYTHING right.
