lmfao! are you serious!

holy shit! nice selection of the worst and hardest to dispose of evil,,

:biglaugh:

before selling my aunts old lake home in '94 I had to clean it, this is what I found in her basement storage room: DDT concentrate must add to water, two cans of lead additive for house paint and a fucking stack of asbestos roofing tiles. Me and the old timer acting as guardian to her estate were howling with laughter over coffee the next morning when I told him of my find.......

When can I eat the fruit and vegetables treated with Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus & Vegetable Insect Control?

This varies with each type of plant being treated; the minimum is 7 days and the maximum is 45 days. It is very important to know this pre-harvest interval before treating your plants as you will not be able to harvest and consume the fruits and vegetables until after the required number of days have passed. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has specified this period based on manufacturer data and to protect the consumer from toxic effects.

seems risky to me. if you are having problems with insects, try IPM

We found, in ONE, non controlled test, that d-limonene worked on socal spidermites. And the room smeeled way better than neem.
I know lots of people are into the chem stuff, and organic growers are in the minority here, but if people looked at problems and found organic solutiions, like the clover crop idea.
Now I dont know how the bees would react to the limonene, but i bet its better for everything in our environment
Monsanto is so evil. I watched so many documentaries, and see how they manipulate our government...and I totally blame them for the bees now, because the chain of events leads back to monsanto. And the government
