    Hi All

    You may remember I had problems in the greenhouse with Cucumber Wilt last year. I have removed the boxes that had Cucumber Wilt affected plants in from the greenhouse, as space is very limited I plan to grow Runner Beans in these boxes will the beans suffer from any of the affects from the Wilt virus (I guess its a virus)??

    I have some jeyes fluid if that will help I could water it through with that.

    Thanks

    Dave

    I would use the Jeyes, Dave, no matter what you are going to grow in them. Just to be on the safe side.

    But let the smell disapper before replanting Dave.
    I dont think cucumber wilt will affect r. beans.
    Wilt is usually a sign of low temps, I think.

    I dont think jeyes is a good idea if your thinking of growing cues this year, I believe all curcubits react badly to jeyes.
