Compared to most other synthetic garden disease-treating chemicals, I consider chlorothalonil (aka Daconil) to be a much safer alternative.

Ortho's Garden Disease Control is 29.6% chlorothalonil and the remainder is kaolin, a form of clay and water. It's also used in some exterior house paints, in addition to being used as a garden fungicide: http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/brands?tbl=chem&id=2354

I've attached the Material Safety Data Sheet for Ortho's product. Please note the zero health rating and the section on accidental ingesting. (practically non-toxic)

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.


Whenever you visit my grave,

say to yourselves with regret

but also with happiness in your hearts

at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:


"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."


No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,

and not all the power of death

can keep my spirit

from wagging a grateful tail.
