GREEN SCUM ON SOIL. 



Can you give us any information 

 about a green scum that forms on the 

 top of the soil among our geranium 

 plants f We used the soil from the 

 beds in which some of our Christmas 

 stock was grown. To this soil we 

 added bone flour. Do you think that 

 the commercial fertilizer in the soil 

 would cause this green moss or mold 

 to form? Our 4-inch geraniums have 

 this mold already forming on the soil. 

 It is not thick, but it spreads over 

 the whole surface. Do you think weak 

 lime water would help to check it? 



D. F. C. 



If you had added a little lime to 

 help sweeten your soil the scum would 

 not have bothered you so much. Weak 

 lime water will assist in getting rid of 

 it. The cause is acidity in the soil, 

 and perhaps you aggravated the trouble 

 by using the compost when it was 

 somewhat damp. Of course, fresh soil 

 is to be preferred for all plants; when 

 this cannot be procured, let the sun dry 

 your compost fairly well, and, if it is 

 at all acid, use some air-slaked lime to 

 counteract the acidity. Go over your 

 pots now with a sharp-pointed stick 

 and remove the scum; then give a 

 sprinkling of dry lime or a watering 

 of weak lime water. C. W.
