I wanted to share some interesting information I got from the president of one of the companies that has discontinued Lime Sulfur. It seems that some individuals had been putting the product to use in an "off label" manner for the manufacture of a s…
Thomas:
I have had companies change terms and even cancel shipment of a whole container of product for reasons that had nothing to do with my company. I vote with my dollars and put that vendor on my blacklist. Now when I meet with vendors I take o…
Roger, we have the Hi-Yield product here at CFG if you need some. Thanks! Ken
Our garden centers in northeast Ohio are open through the winter. We do not sell much this time of year, but we spend this time doing inventory right after Christmas, receiving merchandise and setting the stores for spring.
Our main slaes are in bi…
Thanks for your input. @Anthony I believe you are right - I will pursue this. It appears to be one of 3 active registrations for calcium polysulfide.
I can find no record that the EPA cancelled this ingredient - in fact it is listed as "generally a…
I BELIEVE that Hi-Yield still has this item. http://www.hi-yield.com/ProductDetails.aspx?prod=32190
David is correct. It's unfortunate because so many of our customers and employees had grown accustomed to the lime sulfur products. I think that it's possible the stop sale (retail) on these products hasn't passed yet. The stop manufacture has, so i…
Bonide and Lilly Miller had to drop the Lime Sulfur from their lines as EPA pulled it from the market. The other replacement is Copper, that has been in the market for many years already. It is in some ways better than Lime Sulfur as it will not bur…
Becky, it sounds like this plant has been overwatered in addition to having some critters living at the bottom of the pot. I suggest repotting the plant and washing all the old soil off the roots. Trim off any dark limp roots since they are dead and…
Does anyone know of a source for this product for fruit trees? Both Bonide and Lilly Miller dropped this from their lines for 2010.
This is not a huge seller in volume, but for our fruit growers we wanted to offer something more than suggesting the…
Katie, our garden centers are all within city limits and all are zoned commercial. This question has never come up for my company.
Make sure you check with your local Building inspector and city codes. We installed an LED sign like this at our newest store 3 years ago. The city told us that we could not have any motion, including scrolling, and the message could not be changed…
Tim, ignoring people in the store is not something I ever do. When the questions get too long, beyond 30-60 seconds, I start to say that the customer needs to come in and see our selection or talk to us in person. If I need to, I will politely tell…
JIm, this position should have your most knowledgeable and best salesperson. When someone comes for information, you don't want someone handing out lists of plants, you want someone who can engage the customer, take him or her to the plants on the l…
I have taken phone calls from customers who were actually in a Home Depot on their cell phone and couldn't find anyone in orange to wait on them. I do assist these people, although with a little bit of hesitancy as if to say, "I can't believe you ac…
