Great starter video.
I’ve just pulled 1000 plus stink bugs from my 4 trees. Had a bumper crop last year and the stink bugs must have had a few party’s . Had to trim trees and after some advice from my local Bunnings I’m now going to suck them off trees with outdoor vacuum then spray them.
Just to let you know the spray from stink bugs is an acid and can cause blistering and possibly blindness if it gets in your eyes. Take care.

Thanks Danny for the video and recipe. Loved the little fella's star appearance.

Been checking on many videos about remedies on citrus plants pests till I came to your vlog. Mine is the leaf curl with silver coating underneath the leaf on new leaves mostly. I keep removing them but it still gets them. Thanks for the white solution tip. I am in the Philippines and its too hot now so l will do it when the sun sets. Will try on one citrus plant first and if it will not burn the leaves due to the extreme summer heat, will apply to all citrus plants. A big thanks.

Really cool video! Clear, nice presented, instructions easy to understand. Thank you very much.

My two orange trees are full of stink bugs so I will do that today! Cheers and keep up the good work.

that was a nicely done vid. The trying that most people that do vids like this fail to do is an update I am sure that not just myself but others would like to see the end result. Give that a thought and reply! Thanks

Thank you for a solution to citrus problems that is cheap and easy . I haven't tried it yet on my sooty mould but certainly will in the next few days.

Great video! I like your style of presentation. And thank you. I learnt about white oil today. I'll try in on my lemon tree which appears to be slightly diseased.

Nice video! Just wanted to mention a horticultural soap is the way to go - has longer fatty acid chains. Also detergent and soap are different things - detergents are not generally good in the long run for plants. Just wanted to pass this info on to you as it looks like you love your garden. Keep up the good work ✌️

Thankyou, very informative. My tree has lots of odd looking bugs, so will try the white oil. Thankyou again

Well done mate nicely presented, don't be put off by any negative comments on here and keep making vids!!

[glendagraves]

Well done. Keep us posted as to how well this white oil works.

I like your simple inexpensive ingredients and I am glad you did not use a whole bunch of steps. All the very best with your YouTube videos

Hi Daniel, great first video. I haven't tried to make one yet. I have placed mulch (grass clippings & leafy branch chippings) around my drip line in spring to retain moisture for drier summer months. And I place the fertiliser amongst the wetted mulch to feed the tree. Of course, the nitrogen in grass clippings needs to be balanced with phosphorus & potassium, but also trace minerals zinc, copper, magnesium and boron. You can find citrus mixes, etc. But if you pool with other like minded people, you can mix your own to suit any visible deficiencies. It has taken many years to recognise deficiencies, but keep learning about macro- & micro-nutrients. A healthy tree is less susceptible to pests. Perhaps your navel sheds water and gets more air to the leaves that are more upright than others. Mine does and is healthier for it. They love a dead wood prune now and then to get the air through. Good work!

Great First video ya made here Danny and my Grapefruit tree will be as grateful as I am, planted in 2002, it began producing yellow grapefruit(first years the fruit were really sour, 😵‍💫but beginning the 3rd year the fruit mellowed out and it was in the winter of 2021 that I took note of a black sooty mold on both the fruit and upper part of the leaves, will be using your white oil recipe to help my grapefruit tree get better and insect resistant. Thanks for sharing, 👍and 👋from central Mexico! 🤠 COOL ya have some little helpers with ya! 👶👶

Really liked your video! I just bought a commercial pest killer but will try your solution first. Will look forward to watching another, especially with kids, dogs and chickens!

[time-to-sew]

Pretty awesome for first one! How exciting. Hope you got rid of of those pests 😱
