Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy husband used to have a white powder which we used when planting beans especially I do not know what it was called but when we were planting out the beans we sprinkled some of the powder in the hole and then it protected the bean roots and the young plant from all kinds of pests I have no idea what it was was but I think it was in a red pot. I think it could be used for any fruit or vegetables but I can’t find anything like it currently does anybody have any ideas what it could be because last year my bean roots were blighted by pest I’m pretty sure it’s not a fungus I’m pretty sure it’s some crawling beetle any ideas?
