Sedum Fungus And An Old-Fashioned Remedy In A Web 2.0 Environment

The plant box with sedum was beginning to look a little bit shabby. The leaves on the plant looked like they had a good case of a blotchy rash.

And unfortunately the blotchy rash was spreading. Never having seen this I requested a consult from Phil The Gardener. Though Phil's in California and I'm in Texas, through the connection of Skype (a no charge Internet video and audio phone service) and a webcam Phil was able to do his consult.

Seems the sedum had caught some sort of fungus. Phil suggested a milk spray.

Milk Recipe For Fungus Treatment: You mix milk half and half with water. And spray every day for 4 days.

Well it's been a week. There's new growth on the sedum. And the new leaves are blotch free.

Consults in gardening come from all different places. That's what I really enjoy about the sharing part of Blotanical. You can learn more, get great answers and feedback from an active group of gardeners.

And you also get to see what's going on in other parts of the country and even the world. There are some very talented gardeners who also use photography to show their gardening efforts.

I enjoy reading the blogs and seeing the pictures. The photography on these gardening blogs is nothing short of amazing. (Note: I'm still working on my gardening and photography skills.)  If you're a gardener consider joining or  at least taking a look.

All in a gardener's day,
