I'm not trying to save the planet, I'm trying to save my potato crop which I've worked damned hard at so far. There is no shortage of earthworms in my allotment so I must be doing something right -
geepee the ibc has a ibc cut off on top acting like a funnell and run off coming from gutters on the shed , as you say it could just be a coincidence ,but I think i'll avoid using this source of water for tatties & toms !

Horsetail tea (yes, this damned plant does have a use). Plenty of recipes on the web. I posted a link before but can't find it.
The reason horsetail doesn't die when you apply glyphosate is it has a coating of silica. Apparently if you boil the horsetail up and spray the liquid on your spuds you're transferring that impenetrable barrier to the spud plants and the blight spores don't settle.
Not sure what happens when they fall onto the soil though, but it's worth a go.Are y'oroight booy?Comment

I don't think the aspirin is acting as a fungicide. It's more thought to stimulate the plants own natural defences, because aspirin (salicylic acid) is a plant hormone involved in response to pathogens.Originally posted by It never rains..it pours View Post
The science has been around a long time, certainly before that James Wong article in the Independent. Here's a good article from 2003:
