[IBC] Fumigate and Fertilize
Hi,
As you may remember, I am new on this "hobby" (I have less than 2 years doing it), so I have a lot of doubts about my trees. Particularly, at this moment I have a bad time trying to determine if I can Fumigate AND Fertilize two of my trees (A young Hinoki and a Jade). I used to Fertilize my trees every three months, but since I have been reading some posts at the forum and in some other sources, I realized that a lot of people fertilize every 15 days, so I decided to do the same. I know that if I don't fertilize the tr ees this time there won't be any problem, but how much time do I need to wait until I can fertilize them again after I fumigate? Also, I have some doubts about what kind of fungicide should I used to get rid of the tinny white worms (Aprox. 1/16" to 1/8") that appears on the earth when I water my trees. I was thinking on using Malation or Suphration to do so, am I correct or you ha ve some other options less aggressive? As usual, let me thank you all in advance for your help. "Saludos" from Mexico City, Roberto ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Chris Cochrane++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

[IBC] Fumigate and Fertilize
Roberto,
I had an ant problem. I used many types of chemicals to get rid of them in the soil of my plants. Recently, I found completely submerging the pot in water, the ants/bugs come to the surface or drown. Those that climbed the tree were ones I blasted off with the water hose. I don't know what type of creature you have in your soil, but this might work for them too.

writes: Kitsune, Thank you very much for your reply, but I guess these tinny worms are a little more resistant than ants. As a matter of fact, they appear when I water the tree and it seems that they don't have any problems with swimming (even more, I guess they like it), but you never know. I am going to try your advice during the weekend and I will let you know the results. "Saludos", Roberto This may have been said, but the little worms are the larva of fungus gnats. This condition is a sure sign of over watering and poor soil drainage.
