i was wondering if it was safe to use on pumpkins. We eat the seeds roasted and on the jug it says dont put on edible plants that you plan on eating within 12 months. We just treated with neem oil but im still seeing some signs of Borers and i want them all dead lol

i will have to do so searching. We have a little over a acre this year and will be going ALOT bigger next year. I wonder how much money i would have to sink to cover everything. Im putting in a new well access by the patch this winter to put in a irrigation system for everything

You might try Admire. It is labeled for vegtables.

Admire has the same chemical as Bayer Tree and Shrub...imidacloprid. This chemical is not supposed to translocate to the fruit...Bayer has one also for veggies...just lower dosage.
Good luck.

Nuprid is another product with the same ingredients as Admire and Merit. Cost was resonable.
