Any experience using H2O2 or chlorine on evergreen trees or fruit trees for fungus? I found the second year spraying of my trees did not seem to get rid of the fungus problem. I had a cherry tree where 3 limbs died, only a couple limbs left. Cs sprayed twice a week turned it into one of my be

For controlling fungus, I would bet on Dr. Teruo Higa's essential microorganisms. I believe fungi require a certain kind of environment to thrive, and give up when the enviroment is not suitable. EM creates this kind of healthy environment. JBB brooks bradley wrote: > >

Dear Damian, I have also tested CS as a fungicide in our nursery and found that I got better results from Stevia leaf than CS. Put 2-3 Teaspoons stevia in a litttre of water and let it soak overnight. Straain and store on a glass bottle. This solution will keep without refirigeration for months.

I remember ages back that the DW I was purchasing, had algae growing in it. It even grew in the CS! Maybe what Brooks says applies to this fungus. CS certainly didn't kill it! Tracy - Original Message - From: "Marshall Dudley" To: Sent: Thursday, 15 November 2001 15:10

I have found CS to be very effective against algae in our cat's water bowl. It can be green and shortly after adding some CS it will be crystal clear. As for fungus I have only seen it used against foot fungus i.e. athletes foot, jock itch, mildew, and black spot on roses. In all 4 cases the impr

Damian, Sounds like you were trying to mow a lawn with a pair of scissors. What medium did you grow the bugs in, was it liquid? A better experiment would be to repeat what you did, but add the CS and H2O2 etc immediately after the swab, and have a control which gets nothing but distilled water.
