Tel it is worth the effort you then start knowing your plants are clean. Use a rubber glove when dipping.
Happy planting Tel

It's amazing what you learn on here. I would never of thought of submerging the foliage before planting. I have some Provado ultimate bug clear concentrate Lou78. The mix is 20ml of concentrate to 1 litre of water. |

Thats what dose I use, the only problem is there's waste at the end , anything systemic is good to use if your planting 200 or 300 hundred at a time it's so quick an easy wear some gloves, a few years back me and Stan had a problem with Mellon afid no matter how meny times we sprayed could not get rid so we dipped the plants now there history. |

Having just discovered that all of mine are being eaten alive, cannot allow myself time to faff about. My ultimate bug spray - ready mixed, leaks as I spray and more goes on me than the plant.
So will buy some concentrate and dilute if that is considered a better choice.
Got all my plants outside in the rain. With an attractive blue mulch. |
