What is the ratio of cinnamon to water ? As a fungicide spray.
It's going to depend on how large of a spray bottle you use. If it's a medium-sized bottle, maybe start out with a 1:4 ration of cinnamon to water, then keep adding a little at a time and stirring, for as long as it continues to dissolve. When you start seeing that it's not dissolving all the way, that should be enough. This article may help you:

I knew we shouldn't have purchased these stinkin plants. 1. Would it be best to get rid of them and buy new plants? 2. Is the entire bed of soil not bad as well, from the disease? Do I need all new dirt? Thank you very much. Tamara Hufford-Wong Portland, Oregon

So I used the combo of Washing soda (not Borax, as it turns out) with sugar and water in my best 4 cup Pyrex glass container and saved the leftover overnight. Now it has solidified and I cannot seem to get it out. I used lots of vinegar to no avail. Please help me break up the mess!
Put the pyrex dish in a pot with an inch or two of water and simmer till it melts the contents.
My mother has dogs and just lets them out to the back to go poop. I have read numerous sources stating that dog and cat waste should be kept out of compost and garden area. What I was wondering is are the weeds grown from the waste littered soil safe to compost? If I were to build a compost area on her property and if some doggie doo made its way into the compost, is it only safe to grow flowers? How long would make potebtially contaminated compost safe to grow veggies? Thanks for your time and expertise.
Here are some articles with information for you.

Should these liners be soaked first before putting them in the planter. I am not going to plant directly in them. Going to leave my plant in the pot. My other liners were nice and fluffy and held the plant securely. Thanks
We accidently spilled Brake fluid on a plant, a few drops, will this kill it?
This is likely a petroleum based product, and yes, it certainly can kill a plant.
Try washing the chemical away from both the leaves and the soil. If it is only a small amount and does not effect a large portion of the plant, it should recover.
