how does this affect edible plants?

I know that since this is a systemic insecticide, as all systemic insecticides are, it is absorbed through the roots and enters the foliage from within the plant itself. I would imagine that it would then become inedible. That is how it is designed to kill pests. I use this on only my indoor plants because it can cause harm to benificial insects along with pests. I wouldn't apply this to anything I planted for consumption but instead would try something that was applied topically. -just read label and it indicates that it is NOT advised for editable plants

Do not use it for edibles. The systemic is drawn through the roots to all parts of the plant. Any insects eating the leaves do die off.

I've been gardening for 40 years and we all wish there was a systemic for edible plants. Unfortunately, there isn't. Fight your bugs with Neem Oil. That's what I use and it works pretty well. It also works on fungi. You can try insecticidal soap. Go to the website for MotherEarth.com and ask them for help. Nobody knows more about organic stuff for edibles than they do.

Please read the instructions and warnings on the container. This product is NOT to be used on edible plants. It won't bother the plants, but it will make them inedible.

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

Whatever the amount is, not to worry, it will not effect the baked item. I would not recommend that you drink it....just cook with it�

It doesn't affect them at all. The only thing I have learned about them is dont over fill them and dont over bake them. Only fill them half way! Trust me they rise alot!

I've used it around well established plants with no noticeable consequences. Don't get any of the spray on the leaves. It will kill any green it touches.

it didn't harm mines i sprayed outside around the windows and inside. i only have aloe vera plants. ofcourse i didn't spray the plant directly just around the plant pot.

Not really. It will make the item really small in height; possibly making the item tough to eat.

I would ask the seller about this. My guess is that they could negatively impact the nematodes.

That depend on your purpose. I have used it on & around plants with good success. What I'm becoming concerned about is it's use around vegetable and fruit plants. I suspect some of the poison is getting into the plant and I'm not sure I want to be eating it if it gets into the fruit/veggies. If it's just ornamental plants, I don't think you'll have any problems and it should work pretty well.

Negligible on all three counts. It's not about "fertilizing" the plants. It's about the hormonal effects that seaweed has on plants. I use it on Stag Horn ferns, all of my orchids and various other plants such as those in hanging baskets. If you use Seaweed or Kelp, don't omit the fertilization. It's not meant to be used in place of a good fertilizer. Any decent fertilizer will include all the minerals and trace elements you need. The end result is more robust roots. (The better the roots are...the better the uptake of nutrients...the healthier the plant) 1 TBSP per Gal is good. Use once a month. Negligible on all three counts.

Was this answered? I also heard this could possibly be a concern with blueberries.

I am not sure how to answer this - a landscaping teacher told me that once a botanical process begins (growing) - it doesn't much matter what the plant comes in contact with it will get filtered out (like your liver and kidneys do---) I will say this though - look at the label on the bottle - handle with extreme care - its best not to get any of this stuff on YOU.. (hope this helps even though its kinda Vague...

Hello, Ms. Abaker, I bought just two of these bags, and most of the dates were moist enough. Therefore I ate them the way they were. As for the few dry ones, they are still edible as such; more chewing is needed. If you want to bring them to their natural state just after cropping, no chance. My mother used to keep dried fruits in water (especially prunes and peaches), for a few hours, but they never returned to their natural texture and consistency. IMO, children will enjoy the dates the way they are. I still do, despite my age.

It depends. It will kill a vegetable plant just like a weed, if you get any on the foliage. There are no remaining harmful chemicals lingering after use, like RoundUp.

I've used it numerous times on both flowering and evergreen shrubs/flowering plants. The only things it affected were flying/creeping eight-legged critters. No problems ever noted on landscape. You might call Suspend folks and ask them. They're very helpful folks. I asked about shelf life and got a lot of useful info. Good Luck!

I am not sure. It could be the processing or where it is grown, if their is a change in the soil nutrients, or even a change in the weather that effects the crop from year to year. I would first smell it? Does it smell ok? If you are concerned contact the company; they would be more equipped to answer you questions or concerns. They may have a contact via their website.

unfortunately, I purchased this as a gift and do not know of outcome. This is a reputable brand. I am sure it will do well for your plants.
