You are quite right Sacha, it is not for farmers use but small garden
use hence it is sold in sachets of 5 per box, each sachet of 8ml makes
up 1 litre which is then sprayed onto the foliage - not the surrounding
plants and not the earth and I sprayed in February when bees and insects
are not around in any great number.
