Serenade as a seed inoculate?

epsilon · July 15, 2014

Just thinking about this after reading the last thread on saving blight affected seeds.

Would this be a good way to get a good protective microbial network in place? I didn't read anything pre treatment in the little pamphlet .

I might give this a try, being that I tend to be a little neglectful of my plants I figure that there can't be much to loose if a small test batch were to be grown early on in the year. and if it does turn out to work, than you have already won the war before the battle started..

On a side note, I wanted to query you guy's about the use of crushed aspirin as treatment for powdery mold. In the orchid realms we used it to treat crown rot and brown rot which could easily decimate an entire green house in a matter of days to weeks. I was wondering if there was similar success in the tomato growing areas?

Thanks for posting that up. So I guess that solution is wider reaching than hobbyist orchid growers.
