Not only did HCT get rid of the fusarium, but my yields increased tremendously too! HCT is a great natural pest control product that I can highly recommend as part of your weekly application program.

Sustainable and healthy food production that is in balance with Mother nature is critical for our collective survival and that of our children.

Hobson’s Choice is a phrase that originated in England in the 1500’s because of Thomas Hobson (1544 – 1631). A Hobson’s Choice is an illusion of choices where actually only one choice exists. The sustainability of our future depends on the choices we make today, what products we buy and use and the environmental impact of those decisions. In reality there is only one choice and collectively society needs to change quickly to secure a sustainable future for our children before it is too late! – Paul Maratos, ND Nature Conservation & Co-founder of Hobson’s Choice Trading (PTY) Ltd.
