[IBC] Request for C. Rosner's homemade scale potion
DO NOT USE ON MAPLES!
Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Our life is
frittered away by detail . . . . Simplify! Simplify. -- Henry
David Thoreau - Walden
Glad to oblige, but it is not my recipe/potion.... I think it
was the
USDA's recipe! Not sure!
SOAP solution!
I pour a solution of 1 to 2 tablespoon dishwashing detergent, 1
tablespoon of vegetable oil into a plastic gallon and slowly
add
water to fill the gallon jug. I fill this solution from the
gallon
bottle into a spray bottle and just before using I add 1 to 2
two caps
full (from the rubbing alcohol bottle) of rubbing alcohol and
spray
immediately. If you do not use the full bottle of spray, I
suggest the next time you are going to use the soap/alcohol
solution add
the same amount of rubbing alcohol again, since the
alcohol will evaporate. I store this soap/oil solution in the
gallon jug
for months on end. It does not seem to go bad.
Spray on plants covering all leaf and stem surfaces. You may
have to
spray from three to four times with intervals of three
days. I have eliminated almost any kind of pest that have
attacked my
trees, including scale.
I do not wash off the spray and have seen no adverse reaction
to the
trees from this mixture.
Your NJBB,
Carl
