I have southern blight in several spots in my garden. I read that southern blight could be treated by solarization where the aim is to heat the soil to above 122 degrees F / 50 degrees C in order to kill the fungus that's causing the problem.
So I'm wondering... what if I pour boiling water on those spots, won't that kill the fungus? Has anybody tried that?
