Hi.
I have a Italian customer (does not speak the best English, and I don't speak Italian) who appears to have a very good garden.
He showed me a fertilizer/insect control product that he uses and swears by, but we were rushed so only got bits and pieces of info.
Can someone clear it up for me as to what is the name of the product and what their opinion of it is, please?
Bits and pieces = is BLUE color, comes in little rock/crystal like pieces (use very little to lot of water). Read names like 'verderame' and 'neo ram blu' and 'caffaro' on the bag, or these could have been something else he was showing me.........
Thx.
Bob

Sounds as though it might have been a copper suppliment of some kind Bob if it's blue crystals. There again I could be completely wrong as I'm an organic gardener and don't know what fertalizing products are around these days. I simply use my own compost to enrich my soil.
