[GrowRR] Organic fungicide

[barretb at comcast.net]

I have found that powdered cinnamon seems to work pretty well as a fungicide. Many orchid growers use it on cut surfaces of pruned plants, don't see why it wouldn't work for seed growers as well as long as the broms don't mind it.

Alternatively, Safer soap makes a funcide formulation.
