Looking for a way to prevent new growth from being eaten by bugs/aphids, and
control brown spot & mildew.

Have bee using a GardenSafe 3 in 1 spray, but heard Rubbing Alcohol is a
good trick. What do y'all think about putting this in a hose-end sprayer?

Thanks, Brian


I wouldn't consider ever doing that. You will certainly hit other creatures and
cause them great pain. Lizards come to mind. If you have monumental problems
with pests and disease, you should look to your soil for the cause of problems,
not solutions up on top where the plant is.

Just my opinion.
