Mix 2 oz per gallon of water and spray every 7 to 14 days. Works on aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and fungal disease simultaneously — azadirachtin disrupts feeding, molting, and egg-laying across all lifecycle stages. Safe for beneficials once dry.
Lavender rot is a drainage problem. A coarse-grit amendment is the one thing every English-lavender bed needs that most gardeners skip.
Eighty-two feet reaches a full mixed border from a single spigot. Auto-retracts so there's no coiling at season end. Tested to 1,300 retractions; includes wall bracket and 8-pattern nozzle. 2-year warranty.
Apply in the evening at first larval sighting. Caterpillars ingest the protein as they feed on sprayed foliage and stop eating within hours. Harmless to bees, ladybugs, earthworms, and humans. The only spray necessary for cabbage worms, hornworms, and loopers.
Ready-to-use spray that kills aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and soft-bodied pests on contact. Potassium salts disrupt cell membranes with zero residual effect, so beneficials are safe once the spray dries. Spray directly onto the pest, not the plant.
Hang at plant canopy height to catch whiteflies, fungus gnats, aphids, and leafminers. Replace when 70% covered — a clogged trap stops working. One of the cheapest monitoring tools in IPM and doubles as a population control measure.
Wall-mounts in minutes, retracts without kinking, and stores out of sight when you're done. UV-rated casing holds up through a full season of sun. Ships with mounting hardware and an 8-pattern spray nozzle — no extras to buy.
Dilutes liquid feed at an adjustable ratio through the hose stream — no bucket, no pump sprayer to refill. Run a calcium-magnesium feed along the tomato row in two minutes. Adjustable dial handles most commercial concentrates; 15oz bottle included.
Open-pollinated annual that grows four feet tall with 4 to 5-inch semi-double flowers across a full color spectrum. The most reliable cut zinnia available from seed.
Spunbonded polypropylene that blocks flying insects while letting 85% of light through. The only reliable defense against squash vine borers, cabbage moths, and carrot flies — nothing else stops them consistently. Install at transplant time, not after damage appears.
Adjusts from 36 to 62 inches so you can aim water at the base of tall dahlias without wetting the foliage. Pivot head locks at any angle; the shower pattern is gentle enough for freshly divided tubers. Lightweight aluminum, four spray modes.
Set three independent watering schedules and let the built-in rain sensor skip cycles when the soil is already wet — so cucumbers never sit in waterlogged ground or miss a hot-afternoon drink. Manual override for immediate watering any time.
