Now if only herbs would repel bacteria.  Anybody know of anything which does
repel soil bacteria (iris soft rot) rather than kill them?  I know they
aren't all that mobile, but when they invade a host, is that a passive
process?  I have read about root exudates and all the beneficial and
destructive microorganisms that depend on them - are there some exudates that
tast bad to a bacterium?  Or is the best we could hope for that some exudates
nourish the microbial predators that eat the bacteria?
