I have found in my Marshalls Catalogue 'Bio-Gro Plant Health Invigorator' and was thinking of trying it as it claims to helps against pests Has anyone tried it before and if soo how did it work? and can someone also tell me if it is organic? Many Thanks

From what I know its a natural product, having said that one of its main rivals has as its main constituent urea (wee). I have no idea if Bio Gro is the same but I would want to check before spending money on what could be concentrated pee.

Contact Marshalls and ask for the contents list.

Done a bit of research (looked on another forum) which says: SB Plant invigorator has only one active ingredient and its Urea which, as we all know, is 'an excretory by-product of animal origin' - specifically, urine"

Save your money? ^^^ And pee yourself Will this practice be stopped when the hosepipe ban comes into force...

LMAO VVG! Never thought of hosepipes in that way before LOL!!

[veggiechicken]

At an out of the way visitor attraction with composting loos, I asked how they disposed of the "contents". I was told that the liquids were tapped off regularly and sold - think Baby Bio! Whenever I see it for sale I remember that conversation!

It's there though isn't it! Maybe they will place size conditions, which might get around it

I always encourage the OH to pee on the compost - a tip Bob Flowerdew handed out many, many years ago. Unfortunately balancing on the compost heap while peeing isn't something I can easily do myself!

As I make most of my own plant food I don't get seduced by these 'wonder' products but it's a good job we have someone like TS who can be bothered to find out just what we are being asked to part with our money for.

I pee in a pot in the shed and then dilute it and pour it on the soil or the compost heaps. My neighbour asked what it was one day and was a bit taken aback when I told him. Mind you, he's the sort of person who didn't realize you can actually make your own soup, having only ever eaten it from a tin!!

I once had a little girl in my class who swore blind that humans couldn't eat cabbage, it was only for rabbits

[MarkHackwell]

Maybe I will give it a miss then and just stick too using Maxicrop :P
