Hi John,
Well, chamomile tea is a common one used to prevent damp-off of course and
if you go to the following web site you can see lots of others that have
purported anti-fungal activities: http://www.ghorganics.com/page15.html
This site even tells you exactly how to make things like elder leaf spray
and garlic fungicide spray!!
I'm sure there must be hundreds if not thousands, the question is how many
have truly been proven to be effective vs. someone used it once and then
passed it along as if it were gospel :o)
