Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

I am havijng a problem with what appears to be fungus growing on the mulch in my flower beds at my home in Schertz. It starts out looking like scrambled eggs and in a few days turns to black. My question is, is it a problem that I need to address and if so how do I treat it? Thanks, Ted

With all of the rain we have been getting it would not be uncommon for a fungus to grow in the mulch, it should not be a problem but if you are uneasy about it head over to Garden-Ville and pick up either a bag of horticultural corn meal or a jar of potassium bicarbonate. For the corn meal you will want to spread it in the area where the fungus is and water it in, for the potassium bicarbonate you will want to mix it in a sprayer according to the directions and spray the area that has the fungus. It should take a couple of applications of the potassium bicarbonate to kill the fungus off.
