Comments (3)Hi, Please let me know how your melons do this summer. I planted the same varieties for the past three years. Got two great Charentais only. Very disappointing. It being so hot this year I should have planted them! Mrs. G...See MoreFertilizers ingested by dogs
Comments (7)Plantone is made by Espoma (see link below). If you follow the links at Espoma's website to the listing for Plantone, you will see that the fourth ingredient is... COCOA MEAL Any form of chocolate or cacao, including cocoa bean hulls and clearly COCOA MEAL, is TOXIC TO DOGS. It can cause anything from explosive diarrhea to convulsions to death, depending on how much was ingested, the size of the dog, and the sensitivity of the individual dog to the ingredients. I'm glad your doggies are still with you; the danger has probably now passed (in every possible way). But "organic," even if safe for plants, can be toxic to dogs, cats, and--yes--people. After all, Amanita muscaria (Death Cap Mushroom) is completely natural. So are poison oak and its relatives, poison ivy and poison sumac. So read those labels carefully: organic doesn't mean "safe under any and all circumstances." in el cerrito Here is a link that might be useful: Plantone...See MoreNatural Fertilizers and Dogs
Comments (16)This thread is a hoot! I thought it was just my dogs - Roscoe, Daisy, Rufus and Raleigh that went crazy for fish emulsion. I would have guessed it was a "cat thing" but they chewed the top off the jug of FE and licked as far down into the jug as they could get their tongues too. I've started putting the FE out just before it rains and yes, sometimes while it's raining. It doesn't rain often enough these days but it seems to help the problems with the dogs by diluting the smell, I guess. I only put out the alfalfa, blood meal, & bone meal in the form of the alfalfa brew that stews in a garbage can for a couple of weeks in the hot sun. The dogs will smell around it but they don't try to eat it like they do when I put it out straight from the bag. Yesterday I found my mini Schnauzer Raleigh eating a honeydew melon rind (covered in coffee grounds too) that he stole from the compost bin. I think he's part goat....See MoreTomato Tone
Comments (12)Folks, Don't be fooled into thinking the Tomato-tone circa 2005 is the same Tomato-tone sold today. Formulation on the left is the "original" Tomato-tone. The Espoma folks significantly changed the ingredients and lowered the potency (as well as the bag size from 5 lbs, to now 4 lbs. My trials last Season comparing the "Old" Tomato-tone vs. their "New" Tomato-tone showed me, using the same dosage, poorer growth and productivity. Is the "New" Tomato-tone effective? Yes, but give me back the "Old" formulation any day! Raybo...See More- 13 years ago
