I certainly do agree with Micah that other, preferably local, materials be
explored as organic matter sources.

For the last ten years farmers and researchers in Switzerland have trialed "Chinaschilf"= chinareed(?)-[Miscanthus sinensis giganteus] as a new crop for biomass production. First hopes for use as packaging, fuel or building material, are promising but still premature (oil based alternatives are still cheaper). The best use so far is as a replacement for peat, a finite and protected resource in Switzerland, because,as far as I know,Frank, very slow in building up. Another good source of biomass is Elephant Grass [Pennisetum purpureum]often used by Bill Mollison. Can be invasive(Florida)

Re: Scale insects what are they telling me

Hi Tony,
We have used Neem Oil with some success on Citrus with a scale infestation.
But full control(for one season only) was achieved by some busy hands wiping
off all the parts affected with a soapy solution! Not an option for you, I
guess. The idea with soap or oil is to deprive the scales of air.
I would be very interested too, to know what imbalance scales thrive on.
The citrus in question are in containers: irregular watering, bound roots?
Ants seem to live in symbiosis with scales, and ants dont like humid soils:
even watering might help. Just a guess.

I recently received an email from a relative that informed me that he may have sent me a virus. As I don't remember receiving an attached file from him I was skeptical but when I followed his directions I found that I did indeed have it in my hard drive. Yesterday I sent his instructions for finding and deleting the virus to people I knew I had written to recently and this morning received one response saying that he too had the virus, but didn't remember receiving an attached file from me. I've never heard of a virus being transmitted without an attachment but as I sent a couple of emails to this list I thought I would send my cousins remedy anyway. 

Sorry for any inconvienience, here is his letter; 

Hey All- 

I got a letter from someone on my mailing list saying they had a virus which was probably passed on to me and anyone on my mailing list, ergo...You!!  I did indeed have it, so I assume you're cursed also.  Its easy to remove and is supposed to be dormant for 2 weeks so here's directions on how to remove it before its a problem: 

1.)  mash the "start" button on desktop 
2.)  go to "find or search" button 
3.) in "search for files or folders" type insulfnbk.exe 
4.) make sure your "c" drive (hard drive) is where its looking 
5.) it has a black, ugly icon which you'll see, Don't Open It!!! 
6.)  right click on the file and then choose "delete file" thereby sending it to the recycle bin 
7.)  empty recycle bin, now you're ok 
8.) let everyone else in your address book know too as evidently they got it if you do 

RB 




As far as I know, this "virus" is a hoax, and all it does is make you delete a genuine useful file: sulfnbk.exe  I had a similar virus warning and a hoax warning sent to me a few days ago (not from this list). I'm on an iMac. May be some Windows user could confirm that this file is genuine, before too many "delete" buttons get pressed?

Hi Peter,
 and what did you do about Blackspot? Any good cultural practices to avoid it in the first place? What about hornsilica spray?  Or Equisetum? This is for blackspot on apples in NZ.
