Feed your plants and kill bugs at the same time.
Dear Heloise:
I have an old home recipe for outside plants that works to kill bugs while feeding the plants. It’s simple and easy to use with a spray bottle that hooks up to a hose. Mix together: • One small can of beer • 5 tablespoons of liquid dishwashing detergent (or baby shampoo)
• 2 tablespoons of commercial plant food in liquid or powder form
Once this is in the spray bottle and attached to the hose, water your plants as usual. The soap kills bugs, but not plants.
