I can't say I *prefer* either of them, really. It just seems to me that the
bleach odor dissipates more quickly than the Physan, which I can smell for a
week. And that's outside!

Hmm. Men like Physan, women like bleach. Well, I'm not a natural reddish
haired person, for whatever that's worth!

Admittedly it's an unsignificant sample, but my wife too prefers bleach
which is what lead to my speculation.

I prefer the scent of Physan too. Wonder if it's a male thing, or if
bleach is a female thing?

Yep. I did so for years until I bit the bullet and bought the Physan,
which has a scent that - unlike Diana - I prefer to bleach.

thanks all for the addt'l advice--didn't know that about the copper.
ray--can the bleach solution be used on the plants themselves?

jack--i'm also on wire racks over pyrex baking dishes of water. a shot
of bleach in the water in the dishes keeps the algae down (or at least
turns it colorless. of course, i don't know what it would do to
rubber....)

(and the Br Lancer has not fallen over dead yet--in fact, it may be my
imagination but i think it's looking slightly better.)
