I thought I had already found every way under the sun to kill my plants but I
did find a new technique. Last week I had a few pots that were showing signs
of damping off, so I purchased some Captan. The directions said something
like add a small amount of detergent to make it more "wettable."
Well,...what luck, I have a few gallon jugs of old laundry detergent that
were "empty." I figure there had to be some residue left on the sides I mixed
up the Captan in the containers and soaked down the three pots that were
"ill" and a few of there neighbors for safety sake.
Well, it appears there was way to much soap and the seedling dried up-even
though the soil was wet.
Oh, well..... live and learn. (sadly not the plants)
Otherwise we have officially entered spring and I have started to uncover the
pots.
Now If I can remember were the charger for the electric fence is so the deer
do not eat my nice large Foam flowers and step on every thing else.
