    Can persimilis predatory mites finish the job?

    Sure they do, but you may not have received good info on how to use them. I had a similar experience in '97 and wasted a few hundred bucks at similar (and same) place(s). I new theses worked, and finally called a producer (Koppert Biological in Michigan) and told them straight up I was a...

    Nuggs 2015 russet mite war

    Heads up fellow Russet suffers; VENERATE is now available in some states (however slowly due to the label approval BS for all 50 states). Just approved in Oregon and Dave put in on his web site last week: http://www.everwoodfarm.com/Organic_Pest_Control/Pesticides/VENERATE?cPath=284_803& I...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Problem with getting B.t. at a box or grow shop is you don't know how long it has been on the shelf. We have been using Grandevo for foliar, and H.miles and nematodes for the soil: very effective. All bud worm and other caterpillars are DOA. Rarely see them since we started this program some...

    Generic Mycorrhizal or Name Brand?

    Say, don't mean to be argumentative, but I've been doing business there for many years and don't think I ever got overcharged for anything, especially shipping... in fact they are the only people that ever refunded me for shipping charges (without asking) if they could send it by a better...

    Nuggs 2015 russet mite war

    Actually, if you are using Dave's organic program (http://www.everwoodfarm.com/Pest_Insect_Cross_Listing/Help_with_Russet_Cyclamen_and_Broad_Mites) I think what what your going for is BioWorks Mycotrol: Beauveria bassiana.

    Brown / Rust spots all over lower fan leaves

    Although spider mites can leave similar symptoms, most of the example photos on this thread appear to be mag deficiency. If you use Epsom Salts, make sure it is Organic Epsom Salts (OMRI Listed) for Ag use. Make sure to keep an eye on your pH as the sulfur in ES can drop your pH very quickly...

    Where to buy TGA prepackaged Supersoil/base soil?

    I am with Ganjguy420, Everwood Farm has awesome products and support. Also, if you want to have your own recipe blended, they will do it for you, so you don't have to buy all the individual products.

    2013 Super Soil Recipe.

    Why I butted in here: A few weeks ago I went over to Everwood Farm (I live close by so bug them regularly) to do a micro nute soil and leaf test to see if I was in balance... whatever, everyone was huddled over a table containing several piles of potting/super soils. I don't mean to be...

    2013 Super Soil Recipe.

    I don't mean to bust anyone's bubble here, but I went over to the lab at Everwood Farm last week to get a nute test done. They were doing a side by side analysis on TGA natural & organic soil. Seems to be exactly the same as DTE Pro mix: same ratio and type of coir and peat, same myco, same...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Just so were not plugging the same companies all the time, I would like to add Everwood Farm (http://www.everwoodfarm.com/Water_Conditioners/Flying_Skull_Z7) to the list of awesome vendors. They are at $36.90 for the 16 oz Z7 and ship priority mail or UPS. Very cool thing about these folks is...

    Calcium Magnesium Potassium

    Heads up on the banana peels... They are sprayed with some of the nastiest pesticides you can imagine when coming into the USA. We don't even put them in our compost piles anymore.

    Suppersoil! Where do i find powdered humic acid and blood meal???

    I'm a newbee here, but I wanted to give a heads up. Check out these folks: Google Everwood Farm in Oregon. They carry all the Down To Earth products in stock. Prices were the best I have found, and they really seem to know what they are doing. Gave me some pointers that really saved my...
