Is it safe for use around plants (tomato, etc.)?

It's very safe for tomato and other plants. Unlike fertilizers, it will not "burn" or kill then plant when used as instructed.

Yes. This product is a bacterium that is selectively toxic to caterpillars, so it will not hurt plants, people, pets, birds, or anything besides caterpillars. It can be used on broccoli to control cabbage loppers, tomatoes to control tomato horn worms, as well as on fruit trees to control tent caterpillars. Can be applied up to the day of harvest.

Yes, I did a lot of research on BT because I wanted to use it to keep mosquito larvae killed off in the gutters full of standing water for my gutter garden. This is the actual water all my veggie plants drink. Yes, including my tomato plants. BT is a bacteria not a poison if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while since I looked into this.

The suggested use is for carpet and indoors. Never thought to try the pricy stuff outdoors. I would go to a garden center and ask for some deterrent made specially for that problem.

I think that if the package does not forbid its use, I would try in on the peonies. I use it on tomatoes to stop early blight and late blight. I believe it helps if I mix the powder in the soil before planting the tomatoes.

Hi, I have never used it for tomato cuttings, but I have successfully used it to help baby orchids grow roots after losing the mother plant. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer about tomatoes. :)

i have only used it for tomatoes. However, I think that is a great idea and would work very well.

I wouldn't use it for that. Too much for plants only good on gutters if there's not a lot in them.

The product is safe for use around roses. Since lilies are not listed on the product label, we recommend testing it in a small spot and waiting a few days to make sure no damage occurs before treating a larger area.

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.

I used it to deter animals from my tomato plants and it worked perfectly. I just sprayed it around the edge of the garden (not on my tomatos) and it worked! Now I get my full tomato harvest.

Yes, why not? What other method might you use? I have used for tomato plants and watermelon seeds so far.

I think it would work because it has the soft cushion but like the others noted, if its a really ripe and fragile you might damage or bruise it a little if your not careful. Oranges and Grapefruits have a much tougher skin than a tomato.

Hi, As far as I know you can use them with container tomatoes as well as garden. If you fear they are too strong just use less of them. The most important thing to do is keep them well watered and shake them to help them pollinate as they are a self pollinating plant as well as feeding them.

Hey Vivian - I looked it up on google and found this: http://greenhomeguide.com/askapro/question/is-a-resin-planter-safe-for-planting-vegetablesIt's safe according to the FDA. Other alternatives are cedar boards if it concerns you.

Yes you can. Just don'tspray on the foliage on the plant that you don't want to hurt.

I wouldn't try. The tines not so much sharp as much as they are thin. I think the tomato skin would be too thick.

While I cant comment on your exact flora, I can tell you this product is extremely harsh to young plants. I wouldn't bring it near anything you dont want to lose.
