The fungus       comes from the soil so if you keep splashing down it helps a lot. You're       right about the eggshells and moving the location every year . When I       plant my tomatoes I put 2 tbsp of a mixture of equal parts Epsom salts ,       13-13-13 fertilizer and crushed eggshells mixed with some dirt in the       bottom of the hole .       --       Snag        The time has come to spit on our hands       hoist the black flag       and start cutting throats.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
