I wouldn't recomend applying it closer than 15ft of edible items.

Mike,

That stuff is the same as Merit. Merit won't kill the mature grubs that overwintered from last year but it will stop them from coming back & decimate Cucumber Beetles & aphids. Apply once at planting & again at the end of June.

As for Tomatoes...Admire is the same active ingredient & it is used on Tomatoes as per the following label.

What say you buy a pint of Admire somewhere & sleep better.
