Scott | January 7, 2016Garlic Insect Repellent
Phil Adkins only wanted a way to stop his employees from dripping chemicals all over his farm.
He was disgusted with wasting expensive pesticides. He was determined to both save a dollar and elevate safety. On HIS farm. What he invented – Empty Clean – was so efficient and so needed that Adkins is now responsible for elevating safety and alleviating waste on farms in three countries.
Empty Clean, in fact, works so well that in 1993 Agricultural Engineering Magazine named it one of the Outstanding Innovations in Product or Systems Technology when it compiled its list of the Top 50 Contributions to Agriculture.
Not bad for a first-time inventor who only wanted to find a better way to empty and clean pesticide containers.
“Mainly,” Adkins says, “the people working for me were wasting too much chemical and not getting the containers clean.” So he started tampering with the process.
Before Empty-Clean, the workers opened the pesticide container, climbed on top of the sprayer, and poured it in.…

Scott | January 1, 2016Palm Tree Disease
Any gardener who vacations in California is usually enthralled by our palm trees, more so when they see them thriving so well in the chilly, clammy climate of the Bay Area’s decidedly less-than-tropical summer. The matched sets of Phoenix canariensis recently transplanted on upper Market Street and on the Embarcadero medians (running all the way, now, to the Caltrain station) have added unimagined elegance to San Francisco thoroughfares. Small wonder the palm is once again becoming an option as a garden tree.
Small palms are easy to find in nurseries that carry a good selection of containerized trees. Larger palms are usually brokered or sold wholesale through landscapers, dug up from old homesteads around the Southwest, then shipped and replanted with their tidy small rootball. That palms are easily transplanted is obvious from the City’s trees: of the hundreds planted in the past four years, only a handful have had to be replaced.…

Scott | October 19, 2015Bay Area Plant Nurseries
Nursery customers often wonder why specific plants are not available throughout the year. Unlike merchandise carried in hardware stores or bookstores, many plants are only available at certain times. Knowing which plant to buy, when it is available, the best size to purchase, and when to select it at the nursery makes us better consumers and gardeners.
If you know exactly which rose, rhododendron or wisteria you want to purchase, then the best time to buy is when these plants first arrive. You can pick out the strongest, best shaped specimens and plant them long before they bloom. If however, you’re waiting to see if this or that specific cultivar is the color you want, then you must keep a close eye on your plant candidates. Some customers visit their local nursery once a week so they can see the first blooms on a plant they are considering. (When plants come into the bloom, they sell fast, and it can be frustrating to find a plant you are considering has sold and more won’t be available until next year!) Nurseries take advantage of this phenomenon and arrange blooming plant displays for maximum visual impact and impulse buying.…

Scott | October 18, 2015Dirty Three Band
The Dirty Three formed from a need to pay the rent three years ago. The main concern was to try and take a band photo in a rehearsal, albeit brief. Now, three dirty years down the track, they are making the world a dirtier place, cuz “they love you more than you love you.” The band originally played background MUZAK in the corner of a bar, a bar probably not too dissimilar from your living room. The band’s volume outgrew the venue, so they took on stages with PA’s. There was also some problem about a stolen mop bucket. The cast was and is Jim White, Mick Turner, and Warren Ellis. Warren’s first band was called Paranoid. You’re probably not familiar with them. They broke up after one show because the bass player painted his bass and it wouldn’t dry . Meanwhile, Mick and Jim were busy making some of the smoothest and rudest music to come out of Melbourne’s scuzz-infested populace.…
