Re: CULT: leaf spot?

Linda, I don't know about nutritional deficiencies, but from experience have
found that clumps in beds with lots of weeds seem to be much more resistant
to leaf spot than those in "clean" beds.  The soil is not splashed on them
from rain storms. For the past two or three years, we have talked about
putting a "mulch" of very coarse, gravelly sand on all our bearded beds.
Maybe this will be the year we get it done!  We think that might help in
much the same way that the weeds do.  Anyone else have experience with that?
