Like Dial Soap, I guess there are as many testimonials FOR
terraclor as there are AGAINST it for the treatment of rot. I believe
it depends upon where you garden, and in my posts, I have always
used the word HERE in what I have said about these products.
HERE terraclor is the 'wonder drug' for ailing (rotting irises). It
prevents/cures everything Dave mentioned.
Last year, from out of the blue came a bad case of non-mustard
seed Crown Rot. If I had not purchased terraclor and applied it
when I did, I would have been wiped out. The disease jumped from
plant to plant and took out an entire row. It also struck a nearby
garden. We both saved our gardens with terraclor.
Damping off in seedlings used to be terrible HERE. If terraclor is
incorporated into the soil mix and then sprinkled on top of the soil
as the seedlings emerge, there will be no damping off.
What I have said sounds like I sell or work for the people who
produce terraclor. I certainly don't. I first bought it through Gable
Iris Gardens ads ine the AIS bulletins in the 1960s and have
continued buying it through today at co-ops and will recommend it
tomorrow. It definitely works for me, and if you get into a desperate
situation, particularly with crown rot, I would suggest you purchase
terraclor and get rid of the pesky plague.
