Be mindful of the heat as the weather continues thru the Dog Days of summer. You need to be careful in this weather, you can’t do the same activities that you can in 75 degree weather. Make sure you drink plenty of water and wear a hat, stay in the shade as much as you can. You can get heat stroke before you realize it.

But you are not the only one that can suffer in the heat. Your pets can get blisters on the bottom of their feet. If the temperature is 100 degrees the ashpalt and concrete is much hotter.

Got Milk! Milk, It Does A Body Good! Use Milk To Control Fungus!

Fungus is a good thing in the right place. It helps break down the woody fibers in your compost pile.

But when fungus attacks your plants, thats a different story. Fungus can be devastating to your plants. For example if your roses are having trouble with fungus, try an organic tip, use a milk solution to control the fungus.

Milk can control Black spot and Rust on your roses. You can use a 1:1 solution on ornamental garden and houseplants. You will have to experiment with the strength of the solution. It will vary with the problem. A one part milk, nine parts milk sloution will be weak enough that you may need to treat every 3-4 days. A 1:1 solution may last a week. I find that skim milk goes thru the sprayer nozzle better than whole milk. The butter fat in whole milk can plug the nozzle.
