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.
