Here is what Wackypedia has to say about Millet...

Millet

My first Wife has a question for you. She can no longer grow Flowering Sweet Peas here because the soil has some kind of virus (Mosaic) that attacks the plants. Are there any treatments short of a Nuclear device?

If it’s the same as the tomato mosaic virus, I’m sorry, but no. Sometimes prolonged cold will help, so that pretty much leaves us out.

Had one customer tell me he sprayed his garden with clorox. About a month + - before he was ready to plant, he went out and made up his rows. Sprayed the rows with a half and half mixture. On his tomato row he went ahead and made up his hills—sprayed the hills really good. Said it made a big difference and clorox is cheap.
