[IBC] ROT
So while talking about rot and lime sulfer i noticed a
few people mentioned git rot. I ran a google search for it and found that it said it treated dry rot. What is the difference between dry rot and not dry rot are they caused by different fungus'? Is there a wet rot? If so how do you tell the difference between the 2. Ben __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Your trees probably won't have the same "dry rot" that a wooden boat hull might have. In bonsai, you would use it much like you would use Minwax Wood hardener -- to fill punky, rotted areas of wood on your trees with an acrylic of some sort. BTW, despite all the bonsai literature to the contrary, lime sulfur has little preservative properties.

Perhaps not, Jim, but I've learned from experience that applying lime-sulfur
keeps the jin or shari more clean and free of moss, etc. so that it stays drier and, therefore, less likely to decompose due to rot.

Ben,
I do not know the answer to your question. But I would like to make a simple observation of what has been said thus far. It seems that no one realizes that you just wanted to know if there were a difference between dry rot and "wet" rot. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that you were only curious. When someone asks a question, I really do not think it is up to other people to determine the IMPORTANCE or significance of such questions. If someone wants to make a response, don't you think it should be more like "I don't know" instead of "its not important"? That cuts down the person who asked it, don't you think? Sorry, I am just irritated that people could be so careless as to answer in such an immature manner.
