Duct tape over plantars warts
 Quoting: Bird Shadow


If you can't duct if, fuck it.
 Quoting: GTB


My 3 year old apple tree trunk snapped during straight line winds. It was hanging on by some outside bark. Thats all. I took a popcycle stick and duct taped the mortally wounded tree. Not only did it mend, it has the most apples this year, which is the 4th year....Amazing!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72608114


Watch the tree carefully. (I ran a tree service for MANY years.)

Very often when a tree is at its most stress, often close to dying, it will have its most prolific, showiest season ever.

What this translates to, for you, would be to do a good -to almost severe- pruning after it goes dormant...meaning, you allow the remaining energy to transfer back to its roots, then prune what seems reasonable off, so the next season 100% of that remaining energy (now transfered to root production, for the dormant season) returns in the spring to much less tree.

Trees have the propensity to compensate, depending on the degree of injury they have suffered.

That said, even a young main trunk could very well 'mend' itself...if we were to consider the rooted portion as a 'rootstock' that could be grafted...!although THAT'S NOT how grafting is typically waged.

It all depends on circumstances being optimal, for each, um, circumstance a tree is facing.

Love it, perhaps thin out some of this year's crop a bit ( to preserve more energy)...and use the time in-between to research fruit trees under stress.

Whatever unfolds as time goes on, I hope your beloved tree proves a winner.

_____

Oh...and make certain to change that duct-bandage when you realize that the trunk is growing wide enough to become girdled by the tape. Your initial 'fix' may take a while to mend, possibly into the next season.

Consider this: the more rain you get any season, the wider the 'ring' of growth MAY BE that year (slope of land, water table, and other factors all taken into consideration).

That said, the trunk could expand in kind with heavier seasonal rain. Just watch to see how your tree is responding.

- Rubbing alcohol to clean electrical contacts
- Spitting on coins when a vending machine keeps slipping them back to the return (makes them stick and go in proper)
- Spit again, and chalk, applied with one's finger, between pool billiard balls when spotting them. Spit makes the balls deflect the wrong way, chalk does the same in the opposite direction (pool shark trick, look it up)
- Peerblock (free program) for blocking many Govt and other agencies on the PC
- Borax water. Works as advertised and more
- Oil Pulling to restore teeth
- Using Milk of Magnesia for athlete' foot in a pinch. When I told a pharmacist a few days later, he laughed and though it was genius. MoM is pH of 10 and so it works that way.
- Teaching people to turn on their lights, with high beams, before starting their car in the winter. This takes the battery out of the frozen state it's in and gets the chemical reaction going through it instead. After that, car starts in one crank.
- Reflexology to cure people of ailments.

I'll come back and add more later!

Lugol's Iodine...make your own it is a lot cheaper than buying on Amazon fixes darn near everything when taken with the proper vitamins

Magnesium
Selenium
B Vitamin complex
Zinc

Alternate with Vitamin C not at the same time approximately 2 hours after or before your iodine. I take about a dropper full a day approximately 200mg or so.

For some reason it is hard to find information on Iodine conspiracy perhaps? You be the judge. Bromide (Mountain Dew) displaces iodine as does other halides like fluoride etc.

Extremely interesting! I have the iodine, and was told or read to apply it to the arm, and if it disappeared, apply more.

Didn't know it could cure things. Thought it mainly for preventing radiation going to the thyroid gland.

If such a simple and inexpensive item as iodine can cure diseases, I have no doubt there is a conspiracy - after all, doctors aren't profiting, big pharma isn't profiting, the corner drug store isn't profiting, and people are being cured of ailments. We simply cannot have this!!!

Can also be used on bathtubs, sinks, inside oven, bottoms of pots/pans...

It even works on stainless steel appliances. But use a stainless steel cleaner after wards to make them shiny
