I am not growing that many plants and last year it felt like I had planted out and they were on me the same afternoon. Bacterial wilt took them out eventually.
Thoughts on effectiveness?
Shawn you wrote fairly effective, any further info you can provide?
They tout it for sunburn protection on tomatoes as well. Anybody tried it?
I was wondering if it would be also be effective as a hardening off aid and/or for the dog days of August. And it appears you can mix other products into it.

Lastly, how much coverage did you get out of a pound?
Gardens Alive - $25 off = $42 for me including shipping for 20lbs. That's a good price depending on how much I need to use.
This will be in my weapons plan from now on. I wonder how it will work on cool season gardens?
