Introducing Sunleaves Organics

Due to popular demand we now carry a line of Guanos, including Peruvian Seabird Guano, Mexican, and Indonesian Bat Guano. Seabird Guano has been used for centuries as a source of nitrogen and phosphorus. Mexican bat Guano is high in nitrogen while Indonesian Bat Guano is high in phosphorus. All can be applied dry or better yet made into a tea that can be poured on. They also have uses in hydroponics for those wishing to use all organic products.Available in 1lb., 5lb., or 11lb.

Q: I want to ask about my redbud & earwigs. The redbud bark is very loose in its entirety. I pulled a piece of bark off that was all but hanging by a thread & an earwig appeared resting there. I then pulled off a piece of bark near where the trunk splits into 3 main shoots & earwigs fell out, ran away & seemed to bore deeper into the tree. This tree is 17 yrs. old & I realize redbuds are not long lived, but will the earwigs eventually kill the tree?

Q: Our home was built in 2004, and the yard landscaped that August. We had two river birches planted at that time. One has consistently dropped over half its leaves every summer (they turn yellow and fall within a week). The other tree (nor any in the neighborhood that I have seen) does not do this. The tree seems relatively healthy aside from this annual summer leaf drop.
