Regarding bacillus and copper sprays.

First question. I read some people say they mix Thuricide or Serenade with their copper fungicide. As far as I under, isn't this counter productive considering copper is antimicrobial. (which is also why prolonged use can have negative impact on soil: http://www.regional.org.au/au/asssi/...vanzwieten.htm)

Second is what would be the outcome of mixing two different bacillus strains in the same container and spraying them together? It would certainly save time, but would this alter the effectiveness compared to keeping the strains separate? Perhaps different strains combination have different consequences?
