| Customers often think you have used a toxic pesticide when Surround is used because it is very hard to wash all of it off the plants and I found it was no good for a lot of leafy greens. You have to apply it daily for most things as it needs to cover the entire plant to work well and fast growing vines need to be covered daily. I didn't like it but a lot of people seem to love the stuff. |

| There are some folks on the fruit forum who have had some success with it, but as Marla said, it has to be applied constantly and is very difficult to wash off certain crops. Then again, it is pretty expensive. |

| My humble apologies Lucy and Marla. Didn't mean to mix you guys up. As my wife says, "Listen to what I mean, not what I say." |
