If your looking for ideas, products, tips and general information, this is a good place to start. It is a commercial site, and I make no product endorsements, expressed or implied. ALL-SEASON TONICS (http://www.jerrybaker.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=2) Everywhere I go, folks want to know what the best tonics are for cleaning and greening up their yards. Well, here's how to make my amazing All-Season Tonics that'll turn your yard into a green grass paradise overnight. All-Season Green-Up Tonic 1 can of beer, 1 cup of ammonia, 1/2 cup of Plant Shampoo, 1/2 cup of Liquid Lawn Food, and 1/2 cup molasses or corn syrup Mix all of the ingredients in a bucket, and pour into your 20 gallon hose-end sprayer. Apply to everything in your yard to the point or run-off every 3 weeks, in the morning, throughout the growing season. All-Season Clean-Up Tonic 1 cup of Plant Shampoo, 1 cup of antiseptic mouthwash, and 1 cup of chewing tobacco tea* * To make tobacco tea, place half a handful of chewing tobacco in an old nylon stocking and soak it in a gallon of hot water until the mixture is dark brown. Mix all of the ingredients in your 20 gallon hose-end sprayer, filling the balance of the sprayer jar with warm water. Apply to your entire yard to the point of run-off every 2 weeks, in the evening, to discourage insects and prevent disease. |
