Anyone using either one or both of these chemicals in your main water supply? How are they working for you?
One way to hold them accountable is start reporting these issues right here on this forum for all growers to see. I know if I saw a particular supplier with these issues I would avoid buying from them like they had the plague. If the word gets out t…
How about something that the customers can sink their teeth into... Glockner has a multiseeded pellet of salad greens that you plant directly (multiple pellets) into bowls. They have various salad greens already mixed so the customer just periodical…

Michael Pawelek said… - Steve, I just read your comments about "Proven Winners" and agree with just about everything you had to say on the subject. I am forever tired of telling customers that the "labels/tags" we use on our Proven Winner plants have to be in the containers "by law" and at the same time have to explain why they do not give out correct information for our area. Many of the Proven Winner tags that claim "full sun" are just plain wrong for our S.E.Texas weather. It gets way too hot here in June, July and August for many Proven Winner "Full Sun Plants", especially those planted in western exposures. Their grower's catalogs are chocked full with supposed plants that will tolerate our weather but in fact do not. As the grower/retailer of their products I end up catching the flack from customers dissapointed with underperforming varieties....

Scott Sterling said… - Steve, You asked about IBA and I posted a link for you to check out. Just after I posted the link, the company took their web site down for about a week (for maintenance purposes). I think you must have checked it during that time, because the link is working again.

Happy New Year! We used a software called Ning to create this site. Check it out at Ning.com.
We looked into a spell check for posts here, but I wasn't able to find one. If you find one, would you let me know?
Thanks!
