Those “water spots” on dishes are precipitates, or minerals in the water that are left behind when water evaporates. To prevent this, use a rinsing agent such as JetDry, which improves the sheeting action of water and helps to prevent spotting. Also, be sure to use the proper amount of dishwashing detergent. Using too little may not get your dishes clean, and using too much can cause etching, which is tiny scratches on the surface of the glass that cannot be removed.

This is an indication of a fungal infection. Fungal infections are usually the result of warm temperatures, high humidity and low light levels. Treat the plants with a systemic fungicide such as Phyton 27. See similar questions...

Blackspot is a fungus that causes black spots about 1/16 to 1/2 inches in diameter to form on the leaves and sometimes stems. The infected leaves later turn yellow around the spots and eventually fall from the plant. In bad cases, blackspot can severely defoliate a rose bush. The conditions that promote blackspot are wet leaves, splashing water and warm temperatures. Here are some ways to combat blackspot. Most of these methods also apply to preventing and treating powdery mildew. See similar questions...

Liver spots are caused by a clumping of the pigment melanin in the skin, which gives the skin its brown colour when you tan. They are caused by prolonged sun exposure over a period of years and are common on hands because they're always in the sun and we seldom protect them. If you want to limit your chances of getting liver spots use a good protective hand cream. See similar questions...

This is probably a disease called Powdery Mildew. Unfortunately, Powdery Mildew is a fungus that spreads by airborne spores that can enter your box through the ventilation or when you open the door. To prevent it, keep your humidity at an acceptable level (see 33) and remove dead leaves. If left untreated, powdery Mildew will consume your crop. See your retailer for a suitable remedy.

Black spots are endemic in a number of varieties of orchids, most notably those in the Oncidium or Oncidium family intergenerics. These spots are not a sign of disease. They cannot be removed, and will not spread from plant to plant. You can think of them as freckles. These spots are generally small and dry. If, however, your plant suddenly develops large black spots, particularly if they are moist, this could be a sign of disease. See similar questions...

This is generally a leaf rot caused by types of fungi that are commonly classified as Cercospora or Colletotrichum. Many times this rot will start out as yellow spots, gradually turning to a brown or black color. Note that certain plants such as most Oncidium hybrids often get several small black spots on the leaves due to the sun. In this case it is natural spotting and will not harm the plant.

The black on the bottom of your tomatoes is called "blossom end rot." It is caused by a lack of calcium and other ingredients from the potting mix. Adding 2 cups of hydrated lime to the potting mix before planting as in the instructions can help prevent the blossom end rot from forming. In the event the blossom end rot still presents itself mix 1/4 cup of hydrated lime with one gallon of water and add that to the resevior the next time you fill your Earthbox with water.

Our new polyurethane reservoir, now available in our larger capacity packs, should have no initial taste at all. The vinyl reservoirs, still available in some of our popular-priced models, can be treated in the following manner. Fill with lemon juice and water, baking soda and water, sugar water, or citric acid and water. Leave all in the reservoir at least 2 hours. If one does not work, try another. As a last resort try a sugar flavored drink like Tang (this might stain your reservoir). No. See similar questions...

Drink eight 8 oz. glasses of water each day? Maybe. The best way to determine the amount of water you personally need is to divide your weight (in pounds) in half. That number is the number of ounces of water you should drink each day. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink 80 ounces (160 / 2) of water each day. Obviously, the more active you are, the more water you should drink, so adjust your intake accordingly. See similar questions...

That's a fungal leaf spot called black spot. Some varieties are highly susceptible to it and will require weekly spraying with a systemic insecticide just to exist. Without the protection the plants grow stemmy and weak. Other types, including the recognized EarthKind roses identified by Texas A&M, are far less prone to the disease and can exist without heroic spraying. See similar questions...
