July 29, 2010
Question by rene: can you mix gibberilic acid in a foliar fertilizer solution and have a shelf life of 2 years or more?
some GA suppliers say that gibberilic acid in solution is only stable for 36 hours. however some say that since it is an acid it is stable for months in an acidic solution. which is which?
Best answer:
Answer by aigsengritz
Do a web search but spell the word as “gibberellic”. It will answer all your questions. It is sold in small containers and up to several gallons for orchard spay etc, so I would guess it has a much longer shelf life than 36 hours.

Organic Container Gardening
July 29, 2010
Organic Container Gardening
Organic container gardening is really not as difficult as it sounds—you simply have to make sure that the herbs, vegetables, fruits or flowers you plant are not infected by toxins or pesticides, and choosing an organic seed variety is one of the best ways to do that. Here are some tips for organic container gardening that will help you to plant your own healthy container garden.
One of the first things you should do when you’re considering container gardening the organic way, is the soil. The soil is the foundation of a good garden, so it should be high-quality soil or possibly organic soil. Feeding soil with a compost mixture is also a great way to make sure you are creating lush green plants that you can be proud of. Things like fish heads, dried leaves and grass can go into the soil to provide additional nutrients and to make your crops healthier. This way, your plants will grow without being stunted by chemicals and you won’t have to re-plant your crops due to contamination.
You also have to choose a healthy plant or plant groups to start your organic container gardening with. The quality of the nursery where you purchase the plant from, as well as any evidence of stem damage will help you determine the quality of the plant. Also, this will give you an idea of what you can expect once the flowers or herbs you are tending to are full-grown. You should also check the plant for weeds—even if you are moving the plant to a new pot for container gardening purposes, you should keep in mind that the weeds are fighting with the plant for soil nutrients and this makes the plant weaker.
Finally, guarding your plants against pests and impurities is also another important part of organic container gardening. Even though your flower seeds may be of good quality, you’ll need to set up barriers so that insects can not eat away at the plant while it is growing, or lay eggs in the soil that will stunt the growth of the plant. Organic pesticides will work in some cases, but you can also use things like foil collars around the container garden pots to keep worms out, or placing the containers around places where ladybugs live, since they will eat the harmful pests that come near the plants. Sticky traps will also help you to catch flying insects and prevent them from eating the leaves in your organic container gardening masterpiece.
