Bonide Orchard Spray for Citrus, Fruit & Nut: As part of the all natural, “Garden Naturals” line from Bonide, the Orchard Spray uses a unique combination of natural pyrethrins and sulfur that is ideal for Citrus, Fruit and Nut trees, as well as many other edible and ornamental plants. It kills pests on contact including aphids, mites, caterpillars, scale and others. It is highly effective at controlling a wide range of diseases including scab, powdery mildew, rust, blight and brown rot. We carry both a Ready-to-Spray bottle and a concentrate. It can be used up to the day of harvest, from early Spring through late Fall.

Handmaster ROC Garden Gloves: With a 100% bamboo shell (yes, I said “bamboo”), this glove is lighter, cooler and more absorbent than other cotton gloves. Bamboo fabric is moisture wicking and breathable, and its natural UV protection makes working outdoors worry free. It has a nitrile coated palm for added gripping power and maximum control. Bamboo is one of nature’s most sustainable resources. It’s fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of the bamboo grass. Grown without pesticides or chemicals, it is 100% biodegradable and naturally regenerative. As an added benefit, bamboo fiber products will not hold odor or grow fungus, even if left in moist conditions. So you will not have to throw these gloves away after limited use!

Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insecticide: A systemic insecticide that kills aphids, whiteflies, miners, scales, spider mites, etc. on trees, flowers and shrubs from inside the plant (systemic). Convenient, ready to use granules, last 6-8 weeks, and are great for use on houseplants. No indoor spraying needed. Just apply granules to the soil and water them in.

Bonide Lightning Fast Grass & Weed Killer: An all natural, fast acting, non-selective contact herbicide, effective on annual and perennial, grassy and broadleaf weeds. Excellent for use around borders, walks, drives, foundations and flowerbeds. Will not harm soil biology. Safe for use where children and pets play. Pleasantly scented too! This is replacing the St Gabriel Burnout that does the exact same thing. Recommend in good conscience.
