Author Garden: Blackspot Yorkshire Rose Gardener Member # 2540 posted                       Year after year I fight the battle of the dreaded blackspot on my roses. Recently I saw a tip on the TV about placing 2-3 garlic gloves in the soil around the plants.The presenter never gave any clues as top how this works. Will I be wasting my time,(and garlic),or does it actually work? It would be nice if it does work,I hate using chemicals because of my cats. * * * * Plants: 10 | From: United kigdom | Registered: May 2004  |  Seeded: 80.225.52.115 Phil and Laura guest posted                 Try This, Spray a solution of 1 tsp. baking soda mixed in 1 qt. warm water in the early morning hours. Garlic? I have heard of this,; However I have no info to support it's use, and the non-use of chemicals...

I will certainly give it a go.I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of my roses smelling of garlic anyway. * * * * Plants: 10 | From: United kigdom | Registered: May 2004  |  Seeded: 80.225.52.115
