HI Talkers,
    A disturbing piece in the paper I was reading a few days ago, several 
cases of legionnaire's disease linked to potting soil.   They didn't say what 
brand soil, only the cases were out in the midwest and ( if I remember 
correctly) Washington...I sure wish I'd clipped it to remember better but 
after thinking about it for a day I couldn't find the section of the paper.  
Anyone else see this news story?   How could the bacteria for that disease 
get in the potting soil...thought it didn't have any compost related material 
in it...?
