Hi Judi, Thanks for the fruit tree post. Don’t be too excited on the pear slugs quite yet
though. I haven’t used tea on my
trees and this too is the first year I haven’t had them chomping on the leaves
(yet). But I hope to hear it
continue to work for you – and in a hope-for-ACT sick sort of way- I hope to get
hit – that could mean progress. I’m thinking that it might be a little too early for the
slugs – don’t they just start climbing up into the trees about this time of
year? I know it’s the fall season when the leaves really start to get eaten by
them – here anyway (E. WA State). Please keep me updated on your pear slugs as the season
progresses. I was planning on
using teas to see if it controls my pear slug problem. I’d think a soil drench (if ACT works
against the pear slug) would work well – as that’s where they originate, in the
ground at the base of the trees. Thanks for the update. Mike Ellensburg, WA -----Original
Message----- <snip> This is also the first year that I’ve
used compost tea and it’s also the first year I don’t have any
pear slugs. They’ve been in my pear and cherry trees each previous
year. I applied the compost tea as a soil drench. I thought I’d use Surround on the pear
trees this year but changed my mind. <snip> Judi
