These three multi-purpose products
help in both weed and insect control.
Gluten-8 + Wipeout
Concern over the long-term ecological
effects of synthetic agricultural chemicals has led to increased efforts in the
search for natural products. Liquid Corn gluten meal is a water-soluble product
derived from corn gluten meal.
It is one of nature’s best organic fertilizers and, it is also one of the best
pre-emergent weed controllers.
WIPEOUT Natural Horticultural Oil is a
pesticide-free spray made from three natural (non-petroleum) oils. It is exempt
from EPA Registration and can be sprayed on edible plants at any time up to
harvest. WIPEOUT controls smaller insects and scales by coating and
suffocating them with natural oils (sesame seed, castor and fish oil). It works
on all stages — eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults- of the target pest. It also has
an insect preventing effect since it coats plants with a fine oil film that
repels egg-laying insects.
Gluten-8 + Wipeout + Aerify
The above benefits plus the added
benefits of Aerify. AERIFY is a soil
penetrant that breaks apart compacted soil and tightly bonded clay particles.
This creates "space" in the soil, allowing roots, water and oxygen to permeate.
Once you get oxygen into a clay or compacted soil, beneficial microbes will be
able to survive and turn organic matter into all-important humus. When you have
humus, you'll have much better soil quality and structure. Aerify relieves
compaction, helps create humus, and brings about the aerated, living soil that
all gardeners love to have.
Liquid Lawn Sulfur + Neem Oil
Liquid Sulfur can be used both as a
plant food to provide the nutrient sulfur that restores dark green color to
plants and as a soil amendment to correct the problem of alkaline soil (it
lowers soil pH). It also improves
water penetration and retention. An
additional benefit is control of most mites as well as common fungus problems,
such as powdery mildew, blackspot, scab, brown rot, brown canker, leaf spot and
rust.
One of the secondary macronutrients,
sulfur helps plants maintain their dark green color. Mainly, plants use sulfur
to create essential proteins. In
grasses, sulfur is essential for nitrogen-fixing nodules, and necessary in the
formation of chlorophyll. Plants use sulfur in the processes of producing
proteins, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins. Sulfur also helps the plant’s
resistance to disease, aids in growth, and in seed formation
Neem oil insecticides stop insect
feeding and interfere with their normal development.
Neem oil insecticide solutions are made by mixing an oil concentrate
(usually 3-4.5% azadirachtin) with water. Most neem oil insecticides can be
effectively used for aphids, armyworms, many leaf-feeding insects such as root
weevil adults, leafminers, thrips and whiteflies.
