idea about the garden i learned

Post by MONTANA » Thu Jul 03, 2014 9:44 pm

hi troy , i notice on he last garden video the bugs are eating the plants , i learned something this year from Gary Pilarchik garden channel , he stated that one aspirin per one gallon of water and spay on the plants helps fight off illness . i try it and my plants are doing great .i took it step future i added one teaspoon of epsom salt , and added one teaspoon of hair shampoo all in one 5 gallon bucket , and sprayed all my plants the bugs never attacked my plants at all this year , i spray them once every two weeks . oh if you ever find some rug in the trash take it , it works great in between the rows of the garden too keep the weeds under control , not to mention all the worms that will be under neath creating good soil . god bless stay strong

Interesting idea. Thank you very much. Funny, aspirin for garden plants. Strange World.

I like the fake grass. Looks very good, even under the dirt and mulch on the photo.

Thanks for sharing.

I use three pesticides in my garden. Insecticidal soap, DE, and BT all are organic, cheap and work really well. It make the difference between dead and dying plant and great plants. I am gardening like my life depends on it and can and put pack a lot of food. Growing vertically in smaller spaces is much more productive that trying to keep up with and weed a large garden.

I am now using DE a lot in my own garden. It works nicely. Killed off a mite infestation in my chickens as well.

Only problem is that it rains so much here. Its hard to use anything effectively.
