It is safe for people, pets, and plants according to the packaging. I've used it for two years to keep snakes off my porch have had no problems, but I'm no expert.

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

Hello Richard, I used the product straight from the container on the roots of English Ivy. It killed some of the roots but not all of them. The area I used it on had not other vegetation so it could not cause harm to other plants. I didn't need to add any water to it. AE

We used it on the perimeter of our veg garden. We applied it from late April to late July, once a week at first and then once a month. We had less loss of ripe produce than the year before when we did not use this product. (Vermont)

Yes. It improves the environment of your root system, and produces hardier stalks. It basically makes the plant stronger and tougher, and able to carry more weight. It makes the biggest impact during veg as far as growth goes, but you will really see the results during flower in how well built and strong your plant looks. It doesn't seem to impact the plant during the flowering phase of it's life, so I stopped adding it in once the transition stretch is complete. You might have different results in that regard, though. People have their own opinions on it, and their might be some science out there that answers that question, but I haven't seen it. Hope that helps. Yes. It improves the environment of your root system, and produces hardier stalks. It basically makes the plant stronger and tougher, and able to carry more weight.

I did not try it for vegetables. I think it would work well. It's just the cleanup that is really the problem for me.

No, I use it all summer and I have water lilies, lotus and other plants. I also have 15 Koi, and it doesn't harm them either. Great bacteria for ponds.

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.

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 say what its effect on plants would be as I've only used it on carpet indoors.

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.

Do not use this product near food sources! It is made for the lawn control of grubs. Bayer has many excellent products that can be used in the vegetable garden! This product should not be used near vegetables.

No. It has very little nutrition for your plants. I am a square foot gardener and highly recommend the book a method. You can replace the use of this with Mel's mix.

No. We haven't seen any damage to plants around the house or close to where we used it.

Used in my greenhouse on Dahlias. Didn't seem to cause any problems. Test with caution on yours first.

I have a small yard and I was able to cover the front and back yard with the amount of beneficial nematodes that I bought. I was using it for fleas also and for grubs. In digging this year in the yard I have noticed a marked diminution in the number of grubs that I have run across. I will need to wait another 3-4 weeks to see the influence of the nematodes on june bugs.

Absolutely! As the previous post states...use it with confidence; plants easily utilize the additional nutrients and it shows.

I don't know. Depends on the vegetable I would say. I haven't used it very much.
