Safe to use on indoor potted basil?

Safe enough, I'm sure, but I'm not sure they'd help. These Stienernema feltiae nematodes prey on certain insects and insect larvae. If they have no food, sooner or later they'll die. You can raise them on mealworms found at pet stores as fish / lizard food.

You would use a store bought potting mix and plant in that..I use mine for hydroponic tomatoes ..indoors.

Hello, great question. I found one article from the University of Florida that lists Streptomyces lydicus WYEC 108 (active ingredient in Actinovate) to be preventive control. Actinovate is used in to treat downy mildew on basil. To get the problem under control, I would recommend a rotation of sprays that include: Safer Garden Fungicide, Actinovate, Serenade, and compost tea. Spray one of those, in that order, early morning every other day for 2 weeks. Try to ensure sure good air movement with a strategically placed fan. Once you see the infestation has been controlled, spray only once a week using the same rotation. I hope this helps! Hello, great question.

I personally don\'t think this would work very well for basil. The holes are kind of small. Thanks

I have used it with a bit of success on basil. In fact, neem is my go-to with basil! Best of luck!

Yes. If I remember correctly, the two main ingredients are vinegar and clove oil. It will kill the vegetable plants if they are sprayed, but the components of the spray are non toxic and acceptable for organic vegetable gardening.

We have a wood kitchen counter top and have used Osmo on it without any problems. And the packaging says it is made from natural oils. I don't know if it is suitable for scenarios where there is sustained contact with food. Maybe a good idea to call the company if the intended use is for food containers.

According to this website: http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/news/news27553.html It is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. I used the product last year around my herb garden and everything came out fine.

I used it on my tomato plants last year. Food grade is a higher grade, safe enough for gardens and pets.

I'm going to have a pot in the garage filled with some potting soil/dirt combo and add it to that over the winter. Don't know if it will work, but worth a shot! I have been using the "tea" for the indoor plants. I guess it will be a lot of trial and error!

Yes, you can. I bought them for a large 1 gallon indoor potted basil plant and it flourished with a small reused Jaeger bottle.

I think it would be dangerous to use indoors. When I spray it on my weeds I use eye protection and a mask to avoid breathing the fumes. I wouldn't do it.

Very good for food. My wife grows basil in our garden and we use a dehydrator to dry it when harvested. We don't like to leave the basil in the dehydrator for too long because it becomes dark and less aromatic. I use the silica packets to store the basil in mason jars when they have become about 75% dry from the dehydrator. The packets finish the drying process very well, keep the basil dry for much longer, and help retain taste and smell. A+ product.

No, it shouldn't be used indoors. All the smoke and gases escape around the pot into the room.

Being all-natural, it would absolutely be safe for indoor use. In fact, we have one on display inside our physical retail location. Customers love the fragrance and can

You can use it indoors....but be sure to put the plug in on the inside of the planter. You wouldn't want any water dripping on your inside floors.

The brand of horticultural oil that I use is Bonide. They generally have the safest or most organic products.
