Great "Home Remedies" for your garden!
I just received a copy of "Terrific Garden Remedies" written by Jerry Baker, America's Master Gardener.
Jerry's book is an enjoyable read in addition to the remedies. Some of his "Grandma Putts" words of wisdom are great and remind me of my parent's advice during my formative years on the farm.
I'm not a chemist, but I would bet that Jerry's remedies contain the basic chemicals that most commercial products contain. However, eco friendly and most likely much less expensive.
This is not a paid advertisement! I'm writing this post because I've enjoyed his books and his remedies work. Here is a link to his site where you can see for yourself- 'Jerry Baker'
Enjoy!

Poppy have you tried any of the remedies? There are several that we have found through some research, but only a few have been like Jerry's. Quite interesting to say the least, and most deffinatly eco freiendly.
ReplyDeleteYup! One year was especially bad for white flies on gardenia. I mixed 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tbsp. of dishwashing liquid into one cup of water. This solution was dispensed with a hand held sprayer paying special attention to the underside of the leaves where the rascals do their dirty work. And, voila, the flies moved out!
