We are able to use it on our greens, but that might depend on the level of sensitivity...though we find that it washes off very easily even next day. (Mostly it's all been absorbed by morning.) <br /><br />As to being left in the soil, we grew wheat last year (just before we found out about Rod's celiac), and we still find seed heads in the soil, so I'm not too worried about malt. ;)Mistihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508340234759707408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801060132342953320.post-72576422318749494152010-07-13T14:08:41.638-04:002010-07-13T14:08:41.638-04:00Could you post more about the things you use for f...Could you post more about the things you use for foliar feeding? I was curious and googled them. I think I found the Brix Mix, but not the Neptune's one.<br /><br />I noticed that the Brix Mix has malt as an ingredient. I am curious if there are any concerns about that leaving gluten residue in your garden that could get onto food that you eat.Valerienoreply@blogger.com
