is it safe to ask a HF question yet?

I have HF in the front garden but not in back as yet ( that I'm aware of) .

I know it lives on decaying wood. Compost heaps contain decaying wood. Does using the compost hasten the spread of hf? Question academic as I've spread compost all over garden anyway!

    By the time you know you've got it it's been at home in your garden for years and years image

    I'm nearly afraid to post after yesterday's caper. I have some on my big dead tree I think. How long should one wait before planting other trees? I want to plant some Betula pendula but they too are on the susceptible list!

    Thanks Pansyface. I wanted to make a woodlandy area but I'll do some research first.

    I agree with pansyface, I would not plant another tree in an area known to have HF.

    How can you lie there and think of England

  • Interesting how this has affacted the forum in here. It seems to me like you are more caught up in trying to find out if there's a connection between myself and FL. So much that you even forgot to help the people who needed it. All I tried to do was to discuss some ideas which, as it seems, are not often coming up to the surface here. I do respect you all and you seem to have a lot of knowledge; but it seems like this is a community where a small group of people are setting the guidelines.

  • I think it's sad how I asked a single question about my garden problems, and it escalates into becoming a discussion of wether me and mr Fungus Lover here is the same person..
