Re: Large, brown dry spots
You are absolutely right! I didn't even put 2 and 2 together. Thankyou.
It doesn't happen immediately. It just shows up days later. I will spray
the seaweed a lot earlier tomorrow. Thanks again. Gloria :) PS Good idea
about getting rid of the puddles, I noticed them as you did because of the
brown color, not thinking that it would be a problem..... :0
