All I know for sure is if a doggie has diarrhea give him pumpkin lol, dogs get upset stomachs from change of the type of food or even the schedule. You doing right by them and yourself, I love win win situations :grin::bigjoint:
That's why we started giving them pumpkin initially, to settle upset tummies and help with occasional diarrhea. They like it so much that they don't want to eat dry food without it.

I am growing geraniums in a tent using a 150hps. I figured weed would be legalized soon so i might as well invest in the equipment early. The geraniums have warmed me back up to growing, it had been 5 years since i had a garden of any kind and i made some stupid mistakes with them. Underwatering and burning leaves by leaving water on them. They are starting to recover now. I started them from a packet of seeds

I had hoped to have the longleaf pines cut and clear an acre or two for garden behind the house by time to plant for spring. But the loggers told me that the trees are too small for chips, and for now the pellet mill is not buying. I guess I will chainsaw the trees in my old garden, drag the pumphouse out to the road, and put some fence back up. Not sure when I'll have time to actually work it though.

mangoes? i'm trying to grow a mango in a container, from a pit. it's about 2 feet high, but i keep running into some kind of problem. it'll start throwing a bunch of leaves, then the new leaves will get spotty and dry up....not sure if i'm feeding it right, may be bad medium...about to repot it into fresh medium in a larger pot, which should fix any root issues...but still wondering about feeding, found half a dozen sites with conflicting information

Mangos are pretty tough plants and require lots of heat units and light units to grow properly. And they need to dry up fully between waterings. Like bone dry almost. Dont over water. And tall tree pots work best, when the tap root hits the bottom of the pot the tree will.get salt burn. So best to flush occasionally with warmed up rain water. A plant that small doesnt need much fertilizer. you can use a dyna grow foliar pro type liquid with a few hundred ppm on it every other watering. Something like that. Or a spoon full of osmocote slow release will be fine for 5 months.
