Anyone tried using Biosept Crop Gold spray:
http://www.biosept.com/home_growers_testmonials.htm
The sales language is all a bit weird, makes it sound like homeopathy for plants:
"A natural and organic plant tonic that boosts the vitality of plants and actively assists them in fighting fungal, moulds and bacterial disease"
Another website calls it a "plant stimulant" hmmm.... (scratches head)
I'm as clear as mud. It's quite expensive (by mail order) but I tried it a couple of years ago and it did seem to help fight off pests and moulds, did produce healthy strong plants and did increase my fairly meagre crops. In fact it seemed pretty excellent stuff. Or maybe I just had a good year in the garden anyway!
Wondering whether to lash out on a second order! :-)
I am curious; what is it exactly and how does it work?? If indeed it does.

If you're not sure what it's supposed to do and uncertain that it works then I don't think it's worth spending money on. Digging plenty of organic matter into the ground is probably the best tonic for plants, but I've heard that seaweed is beneficial, so I sometimes add some of that to the compost heap.
Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.

Wherever there is a lucrative market, there is chicanery.
Horticultural charlatanism; snake oil for your garden.
"A garden is the Islamic vision of Paradise."
Only if you behead everything in it.
