Looks like Brown Rot. Trim off the parts with it showing, and if the tree foliage is super dense do some trimming to open up the airflow. Make sure if you are watering it the water is not getting sprayed directly on the trunk or foliage.

It is a week old magazine at this point. The issue appears to be that i was not switching to magazine search instead of whatever the search defaults to (threads?). Seems like something worth improving on, if I’m searching for a topic i would obviously be interested in magazines on that topic too, not just posts that mention the topic. Thank you for the reply!

Thank you, I was not switching to the Magazine search. I guess I assumed by searching it would return all results from posts to magazines to hashtags.

Having an issue I hope someone can help with:
I created a magazine (https://kbin.social/m/Frenchies) but when I use the Kbin search at the top of the page, it does not appear? I’ve tried various search terms, but neither the magazine nor the post I made in it show up. I have 2 subscribers, but I think they came from direct links I posted in other’s comments.

Do I need to somehow make the magazine public? Or index-able? I added Tags in the tag section of the magazine. Hoping someone can help out, I really need my dog picture fix!

If your bed is absolutely isolated and there is no way for the runner roots to escape, mint would be a good option. Really make sure it’s isolated though, dig down to the bottom and make sure it doesn’t connect to your other dirt areas like lawn or other planters. If there is a way for it to escape it will, and it will take over.

Hi again v13, we’re the pest fighting pepper homies today lol

This does work, however groundhogs (and many ground or below ground rodents) navigate and “view” the world largely with their sense of smell, so powdered pepper can basically blind them or cause a lot of torment.
You can do a similar thing with shorter term consequences by using oil-based scents instead of powder. Garlic, crushed lavender, home fragrances such as the liquid from glade plug-ins, e-cigarette juice, a perfume or cologne you want to get rid of, etc. All of these will have a similar effect to the cayenne but without permanent damage.

Or if you really want to go with the pepper solution I’d suggest emulsifying it with a blender and cooking oil so that the particles are at least mostly trapped in the oil.

This works great, but I suggest using powdered (like how cyanne pepper usually comes) instead of flakes. Flakes encourage birds to give them a taste and I cant imagine its good for them.
