ok its been done, my soul is forfeit… ive ordered the bayer serenade opti 5kgs…
did I tell you I found out they bought Monsanto a couple of years ago…

at least I know it will be good…,.
so it was $300 for 5kgs, and what is it? the other ingredients are starch and Damascus earth…

why I went with this? I am not anti hydroguard, im pro hydroguard, we just cant use it in Australia, hydroguard doesn’t smell, I bet this stuff does… use hydroguard if u can
the product I believe is 100x more concentrated then hydroguard, its stable… I can get serenade prime, its liquid form for half price for twice as much… but its 10 times less strong, hence 5 times more expensive… confusing? 
its also liquid, and in a 2.5 gallon amount, im never going to use that all in time… it separates… the bacteria dies… it seemed cheaper, but the guy at the agricultural shop was SUPER helpful, and we both agreed bayer is the devil and the product I brought is perfect for preventing root rot in my medium sized ‘aquaponics’ system… 
what im going to do is measure out 500 gram amounts in new sterile plastic jars, then vacuum seal each one… id say that’s root protection for ten years for all my systems at least… now $300 dollars doesn’t seem too bad.
ill let you know how I go though…
