Not too long ago, I went to an herbalist-doctor where he tried to charge me $50 for a consultation with the herbs. Another herbalist-doctor have told me that in California, such consultations cannot exceed a certain amount (like around $8). I just want to seek the truth. Thanks!
...make one up for me...
Question answered by Violet
To my knowledge, there are no regulations regarding how much herbalists or practitioners of alternative medicine can charge for their services. Every practitioner determines what they charge based on their education, expertise, and cost of operating their practice. You will find fee variations in the medical field especially when people have their own private practice, as well as in other professions. $50 for a consultation is a good price. If you think about the many thousands of dollars that were invested in education, texts, inventory, operation costs, and all the time and money that is invested in further professional development and research. Anybody here in Canada could make $8/hr by working at a McDonalds or Wal-Mart. The going rate here for snow shoveling is $15 for driveways that take 15-30 minutes to clear, so that ends up being between $30-$60/hr. I could list off so many more examples, but I think you get the picture. As a Garden Designer/Horticultural Consultant, I charge $100/hr because I am very specialized in what I do, and have spent a lot of time and money perfecting my skills and offering services that nobody else around here is qualified or capable of doing. As a Herbalist, I operate on a sliding scale because the money I make from my other work is enough to support me and allows me to keep my fees low thereby making my services accessible/affordable for more people. While doing this, I realize that I am undercharging a lot. I offer many of my workshops and classes for free, because of my strong desire to help people help themselves. I don't know how different the situation is where you live, but that's how it is in Canada, so I hope this information has been of some use to you. --------------------------------------- lolly - picking up a herbal book to self treat would be as unreliable and potentially dangerous as picking up a good medical book and expecting it to take the place of your doctor's expertise. In my many years as a Herbalist, you have no idea how much bad information I have seen out there about herbal medicine in the majority of those books. ScepDoc - You are misinformed. We are not 'self-appointed'. We have studied, attended College or University and have been accredited in our field as anyone else who has graduated with a degree or diploma. Of course, there are people that haven't, but you will find such people in every profession. I have seen countless television programs about people in the U.S. practicing as doctors without a medical license. You will not find a single profession that does not have frauds. We do have strict standards, codes of ethics and expect purity of product. As for efficacy - the whole point of our education is to learn about the effectiveness of specific agents. I don't understand why you would feel the need to go to such an extreme by mentioning Poison Ivy and Arsenic. Herbalists don't use those. Although arsenic has been used in the past by physicians :)How much does landscaping generally cost? I am new to this and am in the process of getting quotes.?

It's been healthy for 10 yrs but suddenly is dripping sap. Any insights?
Sap is forming under the leaves. It looks like small "bubbles". I do not notice any bugs, etc.

Question answered by jazzmaninca2003
Sap from leaves of Ficus is usually an indication of scale insects attacking your plant. Try looking closely for "armored insects"... which will appear as brown bumps on the twigs and leaves and can be scraped off with a fingernail. Scale insects are somewhat difficult to control but there are several options for you..... 1) Insecticidal soap- you'll need to place a tarp underneath the canopy before spraying the entire plant thoroughly. 2) Horticultural oil- same procedure as spraying the soap 3) Systemic insecticide- Apply Bayer Advanced Insect Control (contains the active ingredient; Imidacloprid) with water and then soak the roots. The product will the be translocated up into the foilage and kill any sucking insects (except mites). Your scale insects should begin to disappear withing 10 days after treatment. My professional advice is to use the Imidacloprid. I use it as a precautionary application and have yet to have any problems with aphids, thrips or scales on any of my houseplants. Hope this solves your problem.

I have just finished horticultural engineering studies at the university but I don't have any experience with growing corn. I applied for a job that doesn't mention experience in corn seed producing as a criteria. I'm just wondering if I have a chance with my bookish knowledge.

Question answered by nailpolice
How did you get to the stage you are at in your education without already knowing the answer to your question. Anybody can grow hybrid corn successfully -- but, for top quality and yields, yes, it either takes professional knowledge or many years of experience. I suspect you may have trouble getting a full-time job with your "bookish:" knowledge as you put it. Here's a suggestion. Try to work as an agricultural or horticultural intern for a growing season or two. I grew up in the Denver suburbs, but had a successful ag. career. I started out with a combination of good plant pathology education, a summer harvesting wheat, and a summer as a field consultant intern. There is no substitute for hands on, down in the soil first hand knowledge. You absolutely cannot learn farming or horticulture from books. You have to experience it.Is it ok to apply a dormant oil to control aphids and scale on large trees more than once in a season?
creid729
Question answered by jazzmaninca2003
Dormant oils are generally used on woody plants during the dormant season and in most cases, they are not safe to use on plants after budbreak in the spring since they can cause foilar damage. Dormant oils are not as refined as the newer "Light Summer Horticultural Oils" currently available and that can be applied year-round. Horticultural oils (also called superior oils) are highly refined and much less viscous, they can be applied to leaves and stems with little or no damage to the plant. Horticultural oils are effective at controlling many common ornamental and fruit tree pests. NOTE: Before you consider spraying any oils, make sure the soil has adequate moisture and the roots are not stressed otherwise the likelihood of damage to the trees could result (from transpiration). Also, it's been known that certain oils may cause some discoloration on trees such as blue spruce because the oils will break-down their waxy coating. It's always best to spray a small area to determine if your plants might sustain injury or not. Hope this answered your question. -Certified Professional Crop Consultant with over 30 years of experience and a Degree in Plant Scienceinternship or work experence overseas within the environmental and land based industry?

colorado_milf1
Question answered by jazzmaninca2003
There are few effective chemicals available to homeowners that will prevent insect damage on peaches and apples. For many years I had severe problems with Codling Moth infestation....which results in worms eating the apples. Last year I began to place Codling Moth traps....which are phermone (sex attractant) lures. The lure mimics the scent of the female moth and therefore attracts males to the sticky trap where they become stuck and die. This reduces the number of eggs leading to worms. These traps can be found at some of the specialty garden shops and come in packages of two. The traps are very easy to set up and last for a couple of months before you have to replace them. The alternative to spraying is to apply the Spinosad..this is a biological product made from a naturally occurring bacterium called Saccharopolyspora spinosa. It is sold as "Green Light Spinosad Lawn & Garden Spray" or "Monterey Garden Insect Spray". You'll need to apply it once every 10 days. It is very safe to humans/pets and will control worms, aphids and other insects (except mites) commonly found on apples and peaches. Carbaryl (sold as Sevin).... is effective against worms and aphids and usually lasts for about 12 days once it's sprayed. However, it is very toxic to bees and kills many natural predators (ladybugs, praying mantis)...which results in an outbreak of mites. Apples and Peaches are always prone to aphid attacks....as well as mites. Spinosad and Carbaryl will kill aphids but for mite control, you may have to rely on using a horticultural oil or Safer's Soap. Hope this answers your question and gives you some safe alternatives you can use.
