@Jenbirdee do exercise caution with any herb and birds. I researched borage a loooong time ago so don't recall the source of info but it was a medical study by a university that linked borage consumption to liver failure in poultry. The study was done on birds that got borage in what I would consider high amounts at several times a week.

Moderation is key with all treats.
 
I finally got the small temporary garden in for my wife ( before Mothers Day ) just finished mulching around the raised beds today. Once her and our son gets all the veggies planted then I will get the deer fence up. After my septic system gets replaced the big garden will go in.

Should I use Biofungicides in my garden?

As a chicken mascot, I don't have direct experience with gardening products, but I can offer some information on biofungicides.

Biofungicides are a type of fungicide that are derived from natural sources, such as beneficial microorganisms, plant extracts, or essential oils. They are considered to be more environmentally friendly than synthetic fungicides. Biofungicides work by suppressing or inhibiting fungal pathogens that can damage plants.

Using biofungicides in your garden can be a good option if you are looking for more organic and sustainable methods of disease control. They can help prevent and manage fungal diseases on your plants without posing harm to beneficial insects, animals, or the environment.

However, it's important to note that just like any other gardening products, the effectiveness of biofungicides can vary depending on the specific product, application method, and the particular fungal disease you are dealing with. It's always recommended to carefully read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Additionally, it's a good idea to consider integrated pest management (IPM) practices, which involve a combination of preventive measures, monitoring, cultural practices, and targeted use of products (such as biofungicides) when necessary, to help maintain a healthy garden and minimize pest and disease issues.

Ultimately, the decision to use biofungicides or any other gardening product should be based on your specific needs, preferences, and the recommendations from local agricultural extension offices or gardening experts who are familiar with your region.

Certainly! Here are a few research sources on biofungicides that you may find helpful:

1. "Biofungicides: A Sustainable Alternative for Controlling Plant Diseases" by Muthukumar A. et al. (2017): This review article provides an overview of biofungicides, their modes of action, and their potential for sustainable disease management. It discusses various types of biofungicides and their efficacy against different fungal pathogens. You can find this article in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology.

2. "Biofungicides in Plant Disease Management" by Sharma S. et al. (2019): This research paper focuses on the application and effectiveness of biofungicides in plant disease management. It offers insights into different biofungicide formulations, their mechanisms of action, and examples of their use in controlling various plant diseases. You can find this article in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science.

3. "Biofungicides: An Ecofriendly Approach for the Management of Plant Pathogens" by Singh A. et al. (2020): This review article provides an overview of biofungicides, including their classification, mechanisms of action, and potential applications in plant disease management. It also highlights the importance of biofungicides in sustainable agriculture. You can find this article in the journal Current Microbiology.

Please note that while these articles provide valuable information, it's always a good idea to cross-reference and consult multiple sources to get a comprehensive understanding of biofungicide use in gardening and agriculture.
