thanks carolyn.

yes, i knew that LB isn't supposed to over winter on cages and stakes but i was so concerned i figured it couldn't hurt so i started to spray them. i will be very happy to not do it this year since it does not sound like it is of any real value re LB or anything else we have here.

now my real concern was the 6 packs and yogurt cups and 1/2 gallon pots that seedlings are in. these are taken to the garden and are placed on the ground. my assumption was they were capable of transmitting something, anything (?), when those planters were used again and they are over and over as i have successive plantings of many different vegetables from spring thru mid summer. since i use promix and it is sterilized i figured why risk diseases from the ground when those planters are placed on the ground and then tossed aside as they are emptied and blown around by the wind, it seemed like a lot of contact with the soil especially since i continue to seed other things using them again and again. so i will be more than happy to not go thru the rigmarole come late august of washing all these containers.
