Ok,
this is what i have done........ hope i'm on the right track.
1. Called the local paper, they came and took some pictures before i
commenced the next steps. Hopefully the idiots that have done this will
think twice next time if they have a conscience.
2. I have a fan on gentle heat on the area to dry it out/stop it getting
damp.
3. I went to the hardware store and came back with bleach, paint brushes and
hormone rooting powder (the only stuff i can get with captan in it)
4. I have brushed neat bleach over the area
5. i'm doing this email while it dries a little, then i will dust with the
powder.
i am also thinking of making a bleach/powder paste for the area and trying
that too.
I just hope that the progeny of this will outshine its mother when i grow
the seeds next year, (it's an 842 mitchell that i crossed with a daletas, no
daletas plant as it would not set fruit, then flatvined.)
