| When I have time I will go over it to comment on some of the approaches to prevention and other things. For now, I see a couple of things to comment on. I don't know what all this is about burning the removed pieces of diseased tissue. This isn't hoof & mouth disease, you know. Just dump them in the trash and it will not be of any problem to anyone. I notice that they say to dust the cut surface with powdered charcoal or fungicide. Add cinnamon and sulfur to the list (fungicides-yes, but who would know if you are not explicit) and I question the use of charcoal. Anyone know if it acts like a fungicide?
