Heap surface

I raise a lot of sunflowers here at Santa Barbara Sprouts and they were very sensitive ... I was having a lot of fungus occurring which was ruining my flats. The compost was prepared under a sycamore tree on a virgin site and seemed to be ready for use. Within one week after reworking the compost and spraying #508 on it a test flat proved to be without fungus and was viable. The problem was eradicated and the Prep #508 was the key. (258)
