Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

  • I have Sequoia and Chandler strawberries planted in a new raised bed. The soil is a landscape mix from a local nursery. My plants are dying one by one. They wilt then are completely dead in a few days. My neighbor told me it looks like verticillium wilt. I have found lots of info on the internet and the symptoms look like a match. Is there any way to treat this naturally - cornmeal maybe?? Thanks in advance, Anthony Hermes Victoria, TX

    Yes, give the horticultural corn meal a try. Spread about a cup full around the base of the plants and water it in since the fungus is soil born the corn meal should be able to knock it out.
