Rhubarb and blackfly.
Urglers,
A short while ago there was a question about boiling rhubarb leaves and
using the water to get rid of blackfly.
I suggested that if the oxalic acid in the leaves was thereby disolved in
the water, the water might indeed kill off blackfly.
I now think that the water will not kill the blackfly for the leaves of my
rhubarb are a home to many of the b - - - - - things!
But on the other hand, if the water used was boiling hot . . . . . . . .!!!
Regards
Ron
