Horseradish as a "peach tree borer"  deterrent is just my personal experience 
(i.e. "anecdotal), and not a "fact'.
Needs to be confirmed or refuted by a larger testing.
mothballs or other herbs with a lot of aromatic oils such as oregano might be 
equally efective.
 
.../but horseradish is a good source of the powerful anti-oxident  
"superoxide dismutase".:http://www.lablife.org/p?a=products_show&id=328023

Subject: [NAFEX] Fwd: Gumosis in prunus?

I got one really helpful reply off-list. I have removed the name of the 
replier, in case he avoided the list for privacy reasons, but wanted to copy 
his message in case it helps others. Thanks, anonymous. (And if you don't 
want to be anonymous, feel free to chime in.)

I scraped the soil, and while I didn't find any tunnels, I found a white 
larva in a shallow groove cut into the tree. I killed it, and poked around, 
removing all the gum and poking a wire into anything loose, including one 
extremely short "tunnel" that was full of gum. (I removed that gum, too.) I 
have left it exposed, and will keep an eye on it for the next couple of 
weeks. 

I have a friend with a horseradish plant who would, I'm sure, be happy to 
give me some pieces. But he warns me against it, saying it is weedy and large 
and ugly and impossible to remove once planted. I'm curious what others 
think. The tree is in a very visible spot, sort of the center of my back yard.

Thanks, I know nothing about Google+, and not much more than that about
other social network systems.   I work with and on PC's,  servers,  Mac's
and other computing hardware and a wide variety of software.   Social
network products is something I've not really considered.   I guess it is
time for me to learn more, including security issues.  I quite favor methods
of interacting and information exchange that are "valid" and come from
reputable sources - "handles" used in emails have long been an irritant to
me - this does not apply to people that use a nickname or shortened version
of their legal name "in the normal course of life and business".  For
instance myself - for over 60 years I've used and been known by 'Chris'
short for Christopher and very few know or have used my legal first name.

Thanks for the information,  I'll give myself a crash course on Google+.
