Default rot rot rot

JA: One thing comes to mind that I haven't seen mentioned in the other
responses -- root rot should not be spreading from pot to pot. Are your
plants so crowded together that you are splashing water from one pot to the
next, when you water? Or are you using a communal bucket to water by
soaking? Kenni

-perusing MSDS's-

Ah ha! now i remember why i wasn't too eager to use physan or phyton:
"corrosive" "permanent eye damage."

i knew there was some reason i was staying away from them.... the
copper octanoate and neem are only considered irritants.

well, guess i'll be spending the weekend repotting. oh joy. (only
about 15 plants fortunately.)


or i may say the hell with it, spray them with neem, take my chances,
and if they die, they die. feh.


as always, thanks for the very informative discussion.
