RE: Leaves

[Szalies Jean-Marc <Jean-Marc.Szalies@Fluxys.Net>]

I also have many chestnut leaves.
But as I saw  many spores leaving those chestnut to contaminate my tomatoes,
I wouldn't use them for my fishes, afraid to fungus them.
(Those spores were orange, contaminate the tomatoes with a "rot" disease,
quite common this year here in Belgium; weather was humid and temperate)
