- Subject: [gwl-g] Organic at what cost?
- Date: Fri, 14 May 2004 12:37:42 -0400
Sure hope somebody out there can help me. I've
always tried to be as organic as possible. Other than a once or twice
application of round-up to the weeds in the gravel driveway (275 feet is too
long to weed) we use no other chemicals here.
Last week my husband noticed that some of our
eastern red cedars have brown tips. I just figured it was due to the tough
winter. Yesterday I noticed something horrible on my favorite tree. There were
two long cracks in the trunk that were weeping. Marching in and out of those
cracks were large black ants. They appeared to be carrying out sawdust. I could
see quite deeply into the tree trunk, looks like they've carved themselves a
mini grand canyon.
I just want to cry about this. Don't know if it's
too late to save the tree but we will look for something to spray into the
crevices tomorrow. Any suggestions? And what about giving up my pesticide rule
to save a tree?
