Can AzaMax be used in earth boxes (2 cubic feet potting soil--60 quarts) containing vegetables in my hobby greenhouse? I want to control aphids, etc.

I would say yes I use it specifically for plants I plan to consume just follow manufacturers instructions.

Absolutely! Just be sure not to apply too close to harvest (as per the instructions)!

Yes. I haven't used it for mildew personally, but according to a few forums azamax does work.

we were careful....about a cup or 2 for 12 cu ft of dirt. Too early to know the impact however since we did the raised beds with plants this past weekend. Turkey poop is also a great fertilizer!

I love this product; however, I would not use directly on vegetable plants. It is much safer to use around the plants than a weed killer like roundup, but you will need to be sure not to get any on your veggies.

I can't answer for certain, but it's been my experience that anything that sends a root into soil with Pramitol in it will be killed. I learned that the hard way when two small trees in my back yard sent roots under the fence and into an alley where I had used Pramitol to keep weeds (and anything else) from growing.

I am not sure. I use it for ants and blend it with dawn unscented soap for a natural bug killer for my garden. It is safe to be spread around vegetables.

My husband said yes. It shows on the box how you can do that he said. Great garden and more than enough output for a family just starting a garden. We did lots of tomatoes, wax peppers, cucumbers, 4 different herbs, green beans and small onions.

Yes, the bugs, birds, squirrels, raccoons or whatever will have the same access to your earthbox veggies as those planted in the ground. Of course, you could put a screen, or mosquito net or some such thing around it, but I don't. Just this morning a squirrel had the nerve to sit in front of my kitchen window & chow down on one of my little pear tomatoes...But my earthboxes produced a bumper crop so it's ok.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Normally they only consume partially broken-down organic material. I don't think Neem is strong enough to penetrate the "shell", but it wouldn't hurt to try. Perhaps if you combine the Neem solution with a small amount of detergent. Not too much, though, or you'll burn your plants too.

This is intended to mix into you garden soil. However, I DID use it in containers [because the price was so good] but I mixed it half and half with potting soil and that has worked nicely.

Application rates vary, depending on what you're using it for. Flowers/Plants/Vegetables: When preparing the soil, use Azomite at the rate of 1 lb. per 10 sq. ft. If in rows, mix into the soil along the rows at rate of 1 lb. per 25 ft. of row. If bed is established, sprinkle around each plant. For houseplants, mix 1 teaspoon per 2-inch pot diameter with potting soil before planting. Give 1 teaspoon quarterly thereafter. For roses, apply 1/2 lb. to 1 lb. to the soil around each plant and lightly till into soil. Lawn/Turf Care: For existing lawns, a 44 pound bag of Azomite will cover 12,000 to 15,000 square feet. Apply up to 4 times per year. For new lawns, apply at a heavier rate and till into soil before planting seed or laying sod. Side Note:: RAw Supply always packages appropriately with labeling & usage rates & is an authorized distributor with Azomite. ;)

We're using it in a tea mixed w/other organic material. You can look up the amounts on Google: https://www.google.com/#q=how+much+azomite+powder+to+use+of+vegetables%3F

It's a general fungicide - can be used for almost anything growing in your garden - definitely azaleas - works very well - I saved a blue spruce that was 3/4 dead with this product. Works very well.

Earthworm castings are a neutral PH and you can't really add to much to your mix. They pretty much act as extra soil with a nice Nitrogen content. Also helps to keep soil from clumping up. It won't effect your PH, and I wouldn't adjust your schedule. That's my opinion.

The label has a caution about using it on edible crops. As such, I wouldn't use it on a vegetable garden.

The active ingredient in AzaMax is Azadirachtin, which is extracted from neem oil. Neem oil has virtually no toxicity towards humans and other mammals. Therefore it should be safe to use up to day of harvest. You may want to wash the fruit or vegetables that are sprayed but this should be even if they aren't sprayed. Also spray after sunset, this will save the bees from any harm. Dannie

We use Miracle-Gro Potting Soil in all our containers. We have enjoyed great success with a wide variety of plants using this soil.
