The guy with all the wacky schemes, you know. Like to keep cats away
sprinkle vinegar around where you don't want them. Anyways, he calls for
ammonia (highly diluted of course) as a source of nitrogen fertilization.
How do you buy ammonia?



He's referring to household ammonia, the kind sold as a liquid. I buy
it at Big Lots, 99 cents for a half gallon. Get the soapless
stuff--clear household ammonia--no suds when you shake the bottle.
