As I recall, their shipping & handling costs are quite high. Some of their
products, such as Escargo are very good. I question their products such as
"tomatoes alive!" vegetables alive, etc. There's no information on what the
NPK contents are, or where they're from. Note they don't actually claim to
be organic, but "environmentally responsible." That means "trust them"...
The SoilGuard microbial fungicide sounds very promising, but expensive at
$12.95 per 1/4 lb packet (enough to protect 200 feet of garden row)...Keep
your eyes open. Margaret L
