    If this is filtering household air, then no. It will contain unsafe levels of yeast that may allow for secondary infections in the soil. If you were to boil this for a minute or so, then it could be ok. Otherwise, I would not suggest using this.

    What type of plants are you referencing.

    Watering does need to increase during hot spells for most plants, gardens and landscaping.

    Two things some to mind. If the soil stays wet too long, you will see fungal growth. Fungus is part of soil microbiome and is in the soil naturally. If you are over-watering, it will grow quickly. Like mushrooms that pop up, fungus isn't dangerous and doesn't make the plant poisonous. Just don't eat it. White fluffy also describes two insect pests, mealybugs and some scale insects. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/mealybugs-control.htm

    Row covers probably help a great deal during the vulnerable period but the spotted beattles continue to infect the plants well after the blossoms appear. Once the leaves are eaten the infection begins. In any case, the plants die. I don't see, as yet, the benefit. Are there any disease resistant varieties in pickling cakes avail able? Thank you for all your help. George

    Row covers also have potential as a defense against bacterial wilt because they keep out cucumber beetles. As the soil warms up in the spring, cucumber beetles emerge from the ground with one mission: zero in on cucurbits. As they munch on the leaves, bacteria from their mouthparts and end up on the feeding wounds and enter the plants. Soon the plants start to wilt. Row covers keep out the beetles during the vulnerable early-season period.

    Most growers remove row covers once flowering starts.

    You can walk on them, but it will cake it up. Especially if it is wet. What is the application? I will need more information to be able to tell you if walking on it will cause any harm. Generally, it will compact, and may not allow water to pass through soil, but it may not matter for your application.

    Unfortunately, you forgot to include the name of the plant. There are thousands of poisonous plants but what do we mean when we say poisonous? Often these plants taste bad and small amounts will, at most, cause stomach. There are exceptions: a small amount of pokeweed berries and some mushrooms, for example, are highly toxic if ingested. So stay away from the most poisonous plants, houseplants included, if you have toddlers. Children as young as 3 can be taught not to eat *anything* they find outside. Wiki has a long, but not all inclusive list of the more toxic plants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poisonous_plants
    And another resource from Texas A&M https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/earthkind/landscape/poisonous-plants-resources/common-poisonous-plants-and-plant-parts/
    If you wish, please write back with the name of the plant you are questioning.

    I will need to know what plant this is to be able to help. This can be many things, but it could be different based on each plant's needs.
