Re: Provado
Stephen: I spray from time to time with a fungicide which seems to work on some types but those that produce lots of the nectar which attracts the ants do tend to go black around the areoles. To spray or not to spray? That's the question for Bruce!

Re: Provado
David, I've never seen it. It was hard enough to find concentrate rather than the spray-on stuff. 
Ian, they're not a branch of Monsanto are they? I try to avoid Roundup etc.

Re: Provado
No they're not a branch of Monsanto but equally "evil" in the activities. Interesting that the rabid greenies only target one or two big chemical companies and ignore others? Perhaps because Bayer isn't American

Dobbies (gc's & mail order) are selling Provardo (sic) concentrate - 300ml for ?6.99. Is this good value?
Link is here:
http://www.dobbies.co.uk/acatalog/prova ... 300ml.html
But cheaper in B & Q -only ?5.98 (and they can spell it correctly)
