In the south we get freezes, heat, humidity, powdery mildew and spider mites. smites can be a bitch on 20 ft plants. I am going to need a good sprayer for the tractor to remain organic. The extension agent told me not to even bother with staying organic in the south. Not for hops or grapes. I plan doing an organic preventative spray every 14 days. Hope not to have to get out the heavy stuff.

Thats one the hardest things about living here in the south, where there is no real winter, if its not one pest ,its another. Some are relatively easy to handle with organic, or home remedy pesticides. like leaf footed bugs, but some pests like Vine Borers...they can kiss my ass...I actually have two garden plots that I rotate crops out each season to combat certain pests and of course soil nutrient replenishment. I try to stay as organic as possible, and feel bad when I need to use harsh chemicals. Then Iam constantly looking for spider mites, and thrips . Especially on my Plumeria , which I kind of rely on to help pay and support my garden hobby. Nothing pisses me off more than having several $50.00 cuttings go to shit because of some shitty little bug
