Ami
Thx for the post. I am thinking I will try the greencure and serenade alternatively on my plants in the greenhouse that I have just germinated to see how they do. I will know by March if these two control my disease issues. If that doesn't work, I will get some Excel. I just planted 2 bush goliaths and 2 Al-Kuffa and I did a root soak before I planted with Biotomax and Actinovate. I am going to spray with greencure alternating with serenade, one of them every two weeks to see how they do.

Bill, Raybo was kind enough to pick me up a quart. Here are a few mail order outlets where it can be purchased. Ami

You can supposedly buy it at Home Depot or Lowe's-that's what the company's website states.

do Actinovate, MycoGrow, BiotaMax, etc., have any special storage instructions? like maybe min and max temperatures? until they get used in spring, should they be stored in the fridge, freezer, cupboard?
thanks, --meg |

Has anyone used the Organocide for pest management? What were your results?
I sprayed a few plants with it and it almost killed my plants. Just happened to notice that lawnrite carried this product along with the Excel LG and wanted to comment. I'll be picking up some of the Excel LG and Biota Max for my plants this year. Thanks for all the information. |

meg, just keep them in a place where temps are in the 60-70 Deg F. range. No need to refrigerate. Ami
Organicide reminds me of Dormant Oil Spray I use on my fruit trees in the fall. For Tomato plants there are better bio insecticides out there. Here in Germany I don't have many insect problems with my tomato plants. Normally Diatomaceous earth is all I need for the insects I encounter. Ami

Ami,
I have a big bag of Diatomaceous earth I picked up after the Organocide incident. It's a safe bet I will be using it as my primary means of knocking out any of the bad bugs going forward. It also seemed to a do a good job against any ants trying to build nests in my square foot gardens. |

SoilMoist comparison?
I found this product at my local feed and seed.... called Soil Moist. It has Mycorrhizal, Trichoderma, Gliocladium fungi AND beneficial bacteria included in it.
Ami, what do you think of this? I attached a scan of the label... wondering if I should use it instead of or in combination of some of the other products above. |

Wargamer, I have heard good things about SoilMoist products. If the price is right and being able to buy it locally I would say give it a shot. Ami
