Garden Dust

Comments about Garden Dust:

I found the holes in the container too large for an effective dusting. I did not get the pest control I was expecting with this product. Such a disappointment and the product is NOT inexpensive. The bean bugs did not seem affected at all nor did any brassica bugs. Thumbs down with disappointment.

Comments about Garden Dust:

I had a host of issues to deal with, from aphids to powdery mildew, ants to unidentifiable critters that were all munching on my tomato, cucumber, pepper, strawberry and blueberry plants. Leaves were disappearing overnight leaving plants with just naked stems. I dusted the plants several times with Garden Dust and it saved the season. I've got a bunch of tomatoes and peppers sitting here in front of me. Cukes are STILL growing; have already harvested a basket full. I am very pleased with this product.

Comments about Garden Dust:

I thought this product was good until I read how harm full it was around pets and wildlife.

Comments about Garden Dust:

This dust works well on a wide varieties of vegetables and their troubles...bugs, slugs, and diseases. I find I have to use quite a bit of it and re-apply every week and a half or so, but it's worth it for all the good it does and because it's safe for edible plants.

Comments about Garden Dust:

This works as good as any chemical alternative and has saved my eggplants and pumpkins from being devoured by insects!!

Comments about Garden Dust:

I really can't speak for it's effectiveness as my arugula is being devoured by something that nibbles tiny holes in it and so far the Garden Dust hasn't stopped the onslaught of these voracious insects. I'm not giving up but I wish it would work better on this problem.

Comments about Garden Dust:

Last year the tomato/potato blight cut our harvest short so this year we began early using the BONIDE garden dust because it controls the fungus AND a wide variety of pests. Three of our 19 raised beds have potatoes so I was surprised when I went on the vigil to remove potato beetles and there were none! We use the 1 lb for dry dusting and 4 lb package to mix with water and spray. Neighbors came over to ask where to get this product.

Comments about Garden Dust:

Would like to see a delivery system that allows me to lightly dust plants. This shaker container dumps a fair amount of dust with each shake. Consider packaging it with wire mesh screen over the top so it comes out slower.

Comments about Garden Dust:

We are trying to be natural/organic home gardeners. So we purchased this product according this website recommendations. However, upon further investigation this product does not suit our needs. we have found another product on this site that should be just as effective and safer for us.

Comments about Garden Dust:

It saved my strawberries from ants and aphids, but I won't use it in the back garden anymore since it will kill fish. It fact that is one of the many uses of rotenone. I applied the product weeks ago and it is still visible on the plants.

I bought a "powder puffer" from another vendor that will make it easier to apply next time.
