[nafex] Re: fungicides for seedlings



Seedlings I dont have to many problems with if I water from the 
bottom.  Some seedings that start off as tiny strands (like Dill), I 
still havent mastered, but most trees seem to end up ok. I havent 
tried a large bed as you have, most of my explorations have been 10-15 
at a time. I does seem like a good soiless mix works best for me in 
both cuttings and seedlings.

On the otherhand, I tried some some prunings from an elderberry bush 
that I just stuck in some red clay in an old pot from the yard.  
Every cutting is a success!  Eventhough my propagation book said that 
elderberry is to pitty and would rot before it would root.  I have got 
a hedge in back yard now! :)
