Re: CULT: Newbie: cult., pests, companion plants and true color of Cranberry Ice?

You and I saw the same e-mail.  I was going to go into the archives and see
if there are more and maybe print a sheet with different people's ideas on
iris rot.  If I get enough to fill a page I'll probably print it up for the
meeting for anyone that wants a copy.  I won't put it in this newsletter.  I
think I remember seeing other e-mails talking about the anti-bacterial soap.
I'll send you a copy ahead of time so you can see it.  I might not find
enough.  Another thing I thought of was to print a few copies of that new
zone planting information.  What do you think???????????  This will be for
the meeting also.  Later...........
