This is the gold standard for organic gardening, using a naturally derived bacterium to wipe out stubborn pests without harsh synthetic chemicals. It requires a bit of manual mixing, but the concentrated formula offers far more utility and longevity than the pre-diluted alternatives cluttering the shelf.
