The directions on my bottle of Orthene says to use 2 TABLESPOONS
of Orthene per gallon of water! Less than one tsp per gallon is less than
ONE SIXTH the recommended dilution! In The Savage Garden, Peter
says to follow the manufacturers directions. So, this advice is in
conflict.

Is it really better to dilute it this much???

Thanks,
Joe
