Re: Losing Salvia officinalis

Hi Marge,                                                                       
    When you mentioned the large Anemone I examined the soil more carefully 
around where it had been, sigh, and there was a beady, pale yellow/beige 
substance concentrated where the stalks emerged. It was a mealy, crumbly 
consistency but I could find nothing else. Ditto for the Lobelias (some of 
which are trying to survive, but are losing great stalks of blooms in the 
identical stuff. These plants are nowhere near one another. Do you have any 
idea as to what enemy is out there? What's your opinion of Diatomaceous earth 
as a treatment for slugs? I've been using silica sand with some success, 
especially with Companulas, but it isn't the answer either, I'm afraid.         
                                                                Holly Zone 8
