Does anyone here have any experience with this product Actinovate?

After some research on the interwebz I decided to try this out. One of my trees (elm) has a disease that's unknown to me and my crabapple has nematodes. Also a ficus has nematodes and I'm not at all convinced that my other trees aren't infected as well. I saw that people were using this product with some success for things like this and it's organic so I plan on giving it to all my plants. I've never used anything like this before.

I'll post my results in case anyone else was wondering about its effectiveness.

Many things for general tree/plant care are not measured for bonsai. Dosages can vary. Sometimes only half the dose for bonsai is recommended

Also, I would not use it on all your trees at first. Maybe try one 1 or 2 trees first to see how they react.

The product has great reviews on amazon including on trees. It's a living microbial culture that fights disease, insects, and apparently nematodes. I don't see how it could be bad but I will try it on a few trees to begin with and see what happens. This is an expensive product that I only got because I can't find any other solution for root knot nematodes.

Its label says a half teaspoon per gallon of water. I guess I will cut it in half to be cautious. It's supposed to colonize on the roots so I wonder if it even matters how much is used.

I was hoping someone else on there had used this product.

It is sprayed on a regular schedule on tomatoes by many. I have no experience to relate regarding its efficacy on trees.
