i bought some soil guard from gardens alive and i'm using it for my seedlings indoors. the micro organisms are suppose to stop damping off and root rot. i'm hoping it works ok. i'll keep you posted.

anyone else used this product? what were your results?

debi, I have gotten bio-insecticides from them, but that's all. I would like to hear how it goes with you. I'd be willing to order from them, but their claims have seemed too good to be true. (You know the saying, "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.")

yep i've heard that saying. i have bought and used the soap shield last year. it worked fantastic!. a girlfriend of mine, who gardens and grows hollyhocks was astounded at how beautiful mine were. i had used the soap shield on them and never had a drop of rust.
i'll keep you posted on the soil guard

At my nursery we always use soil guard,except on veggies. I use it too at home and I've had great success with it.There is another called root shield which works good too.
