Audio is fine here

Hey Connie!

I started with audio, have reconnected several times not fixing it. if I choose dial in audio which number do I select?

Yes

Tetrahedron? :-)

Dumb question here: what is “sod middle”?

Okay! I thought he meant grass in the raised bed growing medium!

Thanks all!

would you recommend COLOMBUS

does blue berry leaf rust have a cedar vector like rust on apple trees

Will we be sent these recorded webinars?

yes

Thank you so much!

Do you need a pesticide license to purchase/apply fungicides?

Good question. I’d like to know, too.

Depends on the product...if it's a restricted use pesticide, then yes

depends on the chemical... some are restricted and require a license to purchase

Is it ok to remove lichen covered branches now or should I wait until February? I have 20 year old plants.

I am interested in learning more about preparing the lime-sulfer solution to control exobasidium organically? Also, does it work? It is not available at farm supply stores, I think due to shelf stability.

Can I use Lime-sulfer on a farm, zoned for agricultural use?

Is it dangerous for home gardeners to eat fruit infected with any of these diseases? Is it easy to catch these by the taste of infected fruit, so low risk?

I'll be sending that link to everyone!

Can old pine or wood shavings that have been sitting out and wet ok to put around the bushes instead of mulch

Are hardwood chips acceptable as a mulch?

Best method to propagate blueberries at home?

thank-you bill!

thanks Bill!

can you talk about what to do if you see damage from the fruitworm?

What is most common insect in Piedmont?

Any problems seen with the new lantern fly invasive?

Question for Bill: Does using Serenade help prevent fungal infections of blueberries?

What is the best time of day to spray in order to reduce harm to pollinators?

If we find these sorts of pests in some of the fruit as a home gardener, should we throw out the harvest or be okay with potentially eating a few?

does nectar thieving reduce likelihood of pollination/fruit?

Are Mason Bee's effective blueberry pollinators?

I missed part 1 of the blueberry lecture series; can that be made available to us?

Gotta ask..... what are ways to mitigate bird damage? They seem to decimate our blueberries if we don't stay on top of harvesting them rapidly.

Are bats helpful at pest management? Do blueberries need a windbreak, or can they provide a windbreak for the rest of the garden? And what plants can serve as living mulch?

Do blueberries work well in a permaculture setting?

is there info on creating habit for polionators

Yep netting is a huge pain.

We have had some success with metallic streamers to deter birds.

I use fan belts twisted around like snakes and keep blueberries picked.

Metallic streamers work great at detering birds.

Another Great seminar from Debbie and Bill!!

Thanks so much, Bill and Debbie. Great webinar!!

Thanks so much for this information!
