Hi Steve,

Hastings Nature and Garden Center in Atlanta carries it in a 4 oz can for
$22. If I have some, you are welcome to it. I'll let you know. They have
moved recently to 3920 Peachtree Road next to Harris Teeters, if you are
familiar with Peachtree. For those of you not familiar with Atlanta, there
are 37 different names with Peacthree in it.. My favorite is Peachtree
Battle. Now back to reality.

I have no idea whether or not this will work; but, when I was having green
algae growing on surface soil of some cp's, someone suggested using
pulverized pine straw. It worked very well on the algae, probably because
of the terpenes, a natural bactericide.
