Interesting. With 85% too. Did the methanol kill the bugs? (The other possibility is that the newly invigorated trees killed them.) I sprayed some 10% methanol on some greens but didn't see any difference with the ones I didn't spray. But it was autumn already, much less light, so I didn't expect much, and I don't know if they're C3 or C4 plants. I thought it was a good result that it didn't kill them. I'll try again in the summer. Thanks, all best Keith >Best Regards, > >Peter G. >Thailand _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
