One of our goals was to create an insecticidal soap that did not contain alcohol. What a surprise it was to find that the most common insecticidal soaps at your favorite garden center are 96% alcohol in ready to use form! We know that alcohol will frequently cause leaf burn or leaf drop - a crime for those of us that show roses. We also hoped to capture, in a single bottle, as many of the benefits of some historically well-known remedies and treatments for plant disease, mites and fungus. It was an exciting evolutionary process, as we combined ingredients first to create a natural, environmentally friendly insecticide, then decided to see just how “big” a product we could create, and began adding other ingredients to address mites and fungus. Leaning heavily on University studies, our thinking about treatment options shifted from a single product approach to a treatment “system” as we began to consider the possible stages of treatment. For instance, in our test gardens, we wanted to give our healthy plants every opportunity to continue to be healthy on their own without any (or minimal) treatment. Thus, we applied only our Garlic Pharm repellant (with fungicidal properties) in an effort to prevent insect infestation and control fungus. If a plant did become infested or infected, we would then use our insecticidal soaps where the pure essential oils (also containing miticides and fungicides) eliminate the pests. Finally, we would routinely fertilize and nourish our garden twice monthly using our fish fertilizer, with fungicidal properties. We found that this treatment regimen - frequent application of repellant (with fungicide), application of insecticidal soap product (with fungicide) upon infestation, and regular fertilizing( with fungicide ) to nourish and control fungus - gave us excellent results without the use of any harsh chemicals, and our plants loved it! That is the story of how the line of Pharm Solutions products was born, and we are happy to say that if you use our products according to directions, you too will be able to manage insects, mites and control fungus in your growing endeavors, however large or small.
