 Prevent
Problems Now!
Now
is the time to prevent disease and insect damage to your fruit
trees, roses and other deciduous trees and shrubs - using dormant
sprays like the Pharm products we carry and love here
at Swansons!
For over-wintering insect prevention, a horticultural
oil such as organic 'Oil Pharm' or natural 'All Seasons Spray
Oil' is great.
Spray twice while the tree or shrub is dormant
and a third time when the leaf and flower buds are about 1/4"
to 1/2".
For
disease control use an Oil & Lime Sulfur spray. Use it
2-3 times during the dormant stages of your plants.
To
find out which disease control to use on what plants please
email us at garden@swansonsnursery.com or
call us at 206-782-2543.
Even better, stop by Swansons and one of our friendly experienced
staff will be glad to assist you in picking up the right spray
or treatment for your project.
Welcome
to the “Next Generation of Pesticides", including
insecticides, miticides, fungicides and foliar feeders. We
say “next generation” because the enormous ground swell of
opinion among gardeners and growers is to move away from
toxic chemicals, their exposure, dangers and difficulty of
use, to more natural alternatives for use in the home, private
gardens, minor use farm and commercial growers alike.
As
organic growers for over 20 years, Pharm Solutions encountered
a constant challenge to find natural products that actually
worked. After years of frustration we simply took matters into
our own hands and did the necessary research to develop solutions
for our most difficult challenges in growing.
That
is how the line of Pharm Solutions products was born, and we
are happy to say that if you use Pharm Solutions products according
to directions, you too will be able to manage insects, mites
and control fungus in your growing endeavors, however large
or small.
