Well I like Brandy & hate beer!
Also use a bottle for my hair. *g*
Not sure about the gender thing, I use both but have not used a bleach/water mixture
directly on my plants! (Although some of them look like it!)
I use Physan a lot.

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....)

be my imagination but i think it's looking slightly better.)
