FreezePruf
Has anyone of you heard of this: http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/articl...NEWS/909099914
Sounds interesting. I have been in contact with the US supplier and this is an extract from their reply to me, when I asked how much a Quqrt would do. The answer you seek is not available in the terms of sq footage as is most of our products. The reason is simple, the size of the plants are all different and all areas of the exposed plants are to be sprayed for maximum protection. Given the size of most Dahlia’s of 2-3 feet(1 meter), a single quart of our Freeze-Pruf should cover 12-14 plants. It will also depend on the amount of foliage on each plant. So the answer is, to determine the mass of surface to cover and apply the product liberally to the exposed plant material. It will take 6 days for the product to be completely absorbed into the plant to achieve maximum effectiveness and the potential 9.5degrees (f) of protection. It will begin to have some effect after 1 hour but will again require 6 days for the most protection possible from the plant. The product will provide protection for about 6 weeks and then there is no residue that has been recovered from any component of the plant or it’s flowers or fruit. David Hill |

All you've got to do,Dave, is to remove all the leaves from all the plants, measure them with a ruler and work out the area of each leaf, Then add them all up and you will know exactly how much to order. Simple Tsk! Alexandre Meerkat. |

I know that some British wine growers have been using a spray to protect the vines from late frosts. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |
