Hi,

I have had problems with Strawberries, and some other plants growing in the
holes in concrete blocks, The Strawberries, in particular, seem to get the
"white powder" (Botrytis gray mold) even with certified plants and I was
wondering if it could be lime (or?) leeching out of the concrete.

Does anyone have known reliable info on same?


TIA & Regards,
