Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I ...Hi, Dory. Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I don't always get notification of comments on here. I hope you called up at the nursery and got an answer to your question already! If not...<br /><br />Are you sure it's blight on the soil? Usually blight is on the plant, showing up as yellow spots on the leaves with brown centers, or wilted brown leaves. I Googled Southern Blight and it shows white fuzz on the stem, sometimes down on the soil, but looks like it's only on the soil when it's on the stem as well. <br /><br />If you have white fuzz on the soil only, my first thought is just a benign mold growing on some bark or wood in the soil mix. If that's it, I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts taking over and climbing the plant. If you want, you can use a fungicide like Serenade to try to get rid of it, but it's probably harmless.

I was looking around for the handout I got at the veggie growing class at the Natural Gardener a couple weeks ago on organic solutions for fungus and pests but I haven't found it. So... what would you do for Southern Blight?Dorynoreply@blogger.com
