HI DALE
Soil born diseases can be difficult to eradicate but it is dependant on the
type of diseases you may have in your soil. Over here in the UK there is a
product called ARMILLATOX which is made from naturally occurring plant
phenols. It stinks like Joe Buggery but is VERY VERY effective at killing
most soil born diseases and had many other uses other than cleansing the
soil. I am not sure if ARMILLATOX are exporting their product to the US or
Canada but i will make a few phone calls and find out as i know the MD of the
Company.
In the mean time try contacting a major Mail Order Garden Supply Company and
ask if they stock ARMILLATOX or may be able to get it for you. Another idea
is to have a look and see if ARMILLATOX is on the Internet and contact them
via Email or, if they have one, look at their Website. It is a while ago
since i last contacted ARMILLATOX therefor i am not sure if they are on the
Internet as yet.
