  • Help, what is that on my beanpoles?

    Hi all,
    Hope you are all getting some time with the vege! I managed a few hours the other day inbetween work/study and children. BUT when I looked at my beanpoles that have been stored outside, they mostly have a strange black powder type covering on them.
    Is this some kind of fungus/disease, and if I use them am I likely to infect the peas/beans?
    Advice gratefully received...
    many thanks guys.

      Sooty mould by the sound of it.........bleach solution will probably clean it methinks!

            ***** fluid?...don't see why not- just rinse it well afterwards.

            Boiling water and a good scrub would probably work just as well!

                          Now, why did that happen.... yes solar flares or lunar wains... but anyway it ( J.e.y.e.s) fluid is very good for all things of a disinfectant nature. And thank you all for your help. I am desperate to get on with things at my allotment but am chained to my computer at the moment, just finishing off my dissertation. If only it were on horticulture, then I would be happy
                          Hope you are all sowing well!!
