There's nothing on the market (that I know of) that is any use for

I thought about creosote, which I think I could still get at the ag coop,
but even if I wanted to deal with the whole nasty and toxic mess the
situation is complicated by the fact that I've trained climbing roses to
quite a bit of it that gets full sun. Oh well, the lichen is pretty
anyway.





Looks like the lichen is safe for now. Creosote, for all it carries the
same name, is not the Creosote most of us remember. I understand it's
next to useless.
