Re: Anyone use oxine to disinfect?

There are alot of different dilutions. I think it kills spores and viruses pretty well. Here is another link.

Use a setting of 3.0 fluid ounce of Oxine per gallon of water (1:42) for control of virus and spores.

Re: Instant shade

I have provided pretty decent shade by planting a boatload of tall sunflowers interspersped between the hostas. It is a temporary fix granted, but here where I live, in full sun, they get ugly by june even with adequate water.

Ugh. Pass on it. Buy one of the dream weavers or the such as they grow, albeit, slowly, but MUCH better than GE.
