[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 722637, member: 13613"] To a gallon of water add: 1/2 cup granulated sugar or cane molasses (black strap doesn't work) 1/2 cup Diatomacious Earth 1 teaspoon liquid kelp 1 teaspoon vinegar (ph control) 1/4 to 1/2 cup fish emusion 1/2 cup enzyme such as Nitron A-35 or use a few drops of soap to aid stick power to leaves. 1 teaspoon coloidal minerals - if you have access to good ones Mix well - strain into pressure sprayer. I spray once a week but have sprayed more often when dealing with pests. Just remember the fertilizer requires the plants have plenty of moisture. The main "pest" control ingredient is the sugar. Spray plant before 10AM or after 6PM. These are the times the plant absorbs the nutrients. The idea is to raise the Brax (sugar) level of the leaves. When Brax is sufficient, bugs leave plants alone. THose that dare anyway, can't expel the gas made from the sugary leaves and explode. If you put crushed granite rock in the garden before planting , it greatly improves bug resistance.
