Left field info,(WAY OFF TOPIC) Ed thier might be some truth to copper in the soil,maganisium might also help. They market a product called Iron Sulfate (copperas) which is probable what your talking about. Here's something interesting if you have a pool and a DE (notD.C.) filter you use DIATOMACEOUS EARTH Well this stuff works great on all crawling insects and is all natural. For years the mums growing by the filter were giant! after some research I found the waste wash from my filter is actually great for the lawn and a natural pesticide, please note I do not use clorine in my pool! not only is it a acid but study's are proving clorine to be a carcinogenic and very bad for children, this could be a reason (one of them ) for the increase in skin cancer! My recomendation for you, try some bone meal, bugs hate it, you could eat it! if your tomato's are acidy, triple phosphate 0-46-0, for those of you that I did alarm with the clorine speal, well you should be, before the season starts get to a pool supplier and get yourself (children) a sanitizing system (200-500$) don't tell me they put clorine in drinking water, the ppms are not even close! I post this info for my friends on SI,not as a legal warning. I had a copper bracelet for (POW) arthritic condition, it didn't work, maybe if I pierce my tongue with a copper ring! NA I don't think so<VBG> jimmyo no substitute for good DIRT! |
