Damping off. He Sprinkles Cinnamon All Over His Garden. The Reason? Th

[brick]

Whenever I think of cinnamon, I immediately think of sweet treats around Christmas time. But cinnamon really is an incredibly healthy spice that has more uses than just adding flavour to your favourite desserts and drinks. For example, you can use cinnamon for gardening. “Huh? How can you possibly use cinnamon for gardening!?” Yes, I know it sounds crazy but apparently sprinkling some cinnamon on your seedlings is a great way to protect your vegetable seedlings from “Damping Off” disease. Perhaps you’ve never heard of Damping Off disease, but you may have seen it before… it’s a fungus that looks like cotton and it grows on the stems of your seedlings. As it turns out, cinnamon has anti-fungal properties, so it’s a great solution to keeping your plants free of this disease!

Interesting stuff Brick, could be a good option for clones while they have to be under the dome and young seedlings in humid conditions.  Wonder if you could also add a little to soil or coco during prep to help protect against pythium?

 

Wish my wet dog smelt like cinnamon on the 2nd whiff

great post brick , nice addition to a IPM , you can also use essential oil foliar sprays like 

Rosemary oil (High-camphor) for your pesticide & Thyme oil (High-Thymol) for your fungicide

& all these things are a great preventive & pretty much cheap as chips
