spiraleyes Posted January 16, 2002 i know what you mean terah. either its my imagination or not,but it seems to happen a while after theyve been touched. does it go deep? ive left it ,sometimes it spreads sometimes not. cutting it out seems to make it worse. maybe even caused by some fertalizers or fungaside. have you used either on them?

squiresk Posted January 16, 2002 Yep, me too. THey are kinda like a tack,( drawing pin )smartie with an erection. brown, some are under the skin. When you try and dig'um out, esp. the small ones it seems to make things worse. the large ones seem to pick off easy, leaving a (nice) clean scar and no probs. Are these still scale Torsten? Very irritating. spiral, for your info, I've used no fungiside, just a low N fertiliser about once/twice a month. kai k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted January 16, 2002 the 'tacks' are injuries that healed over. the injury could be from an insect or from other spines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
