Fungus in the Garden

It looks like some of our plants out front have fungal infections. I did a bit of research and found that tea-tree oil is a natural fungicide. It just happens that we have some tea-tree oil based shampoo lying around, so I put some in a squirty bottle added about as much water as I had shampoo (didn't want it too dilute) and sprayed on one part of one of the plants thats bad. Today, I went out to take a look and spray again, and it seemed noticebly better. I sprayed again, and I'll take another look tomorrow, but this is very promising. We have a couple of peonies out front, and both of them have fungus. The shampoo is a bit low, so I'll have to find out where [Bad username or site: firinel'/ @ livejournal.com] got it from, but this seems like a pretty good solution.
