Even with spraying ever 7-10 days 25 lbs. lasts a while, but for some reason
it doesn't appear to be the kind of stuff that would turn to concrete.  Very
fluffy.  Don't your raspberries get eaten by Japanese beetles?  It seems to
work with most insect pests, bean beetles, flea beetles etc.  Can't use it
on raspberries or other soft fruit once fruit starts forming as it would
need to be washed off.
