Sounds great and keep us posted! I'm going to try dipping the cowpots in actinovate as you did. Hopefully they'll look as nice as yours.

While your at it with Actinovate get yourself an ounce of Mycogrow Soluable and add a teaspoon of that to the dipping solution as well. Here's a link. Ami

The weather has been nice here, so I'm slowly hardening my tomatoes.
If it's too windy and raining, I don't put them out. Temps right now is
in 70's during day and in the 50's at night. I still bring them in at night.
I put them in the shady area of my deck. At this point they can only
handle some morning sun. I'm going to plant a bloody butcher today
in one of my square foot beds. I'll put something to shade it, and if
it gets below 50 degrees I'll cover it with a gallon milk jug. That's
what I did with my Box Car Willie last year.
