Hey Brian, I like the idea of using less row covers. Do you
know what ratio of Surround to water you prefer or just guesstimate like I seem
to do on most things? Do you add anything besides water to the mix? How
important are you finding underleaf application to be? Who are you buying it
through? Thanks, Farmer

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of bcluton AT aol.com Hi Ben, Surround has been a great product for us.
I've always gone with a slurry into dilution in a backpack sprayer and
applied it that way. I've never tried the dip method so can't speak to
whether putting it on in that fashion would lead to respiration problems.
I've never noticed anything by spraying on a thin coat. You can
play around with the dilutions until you get the desired coverage. It's
worked well on the crops you mention and brassicas - although it doesn't stick
as well to the waxy leaves - and the only solaname we regularly use it on is
Eggplant. We apply it at transplanting and might renew coverage for the
first few weeks if it seems warranted. Anyway I'd give it two thumbs up.
It's simplified a lot of things for us and drastically reduced our need
for row covers on some crops. Brian
