Jim:
Here I am, and here's the recipe:

SOAP solution!



I pour a solution of 1 to 2 tablespoon dishwashing detergent, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a plastic gallon and slowly add

water to fill the gallon jug. I fill this solution from the gallon bottle into a spray bottle and just before using I add 1 to 2 two caps

full (from the rubbing alcohol bottle) of rubbing alcohol and spray immediately. If you do not use the full bottle of spray, I

suggest the next time you are going to use the soap/alcohol solution add the same amount of rubbing alcohol again, since the

alcohol will evaporate. I store this soap/oil solution in the gallon jug for months on end. It does not seem to go bad.



Spray on plants covering all leaf and stem surfaces. You may have to spray from three to four times with intervals of three

days. I have eliminated almost any kind of pest that have attacked my trees, including scale.



I do not wash off the spray and have seen no adverse reaction to the trees from this mixture.

Best regards,

Carl

I have been searching for Carl's homemade scale treatment recipe. I
know its on the archives but can't seem to get it to come up in doing
a search. I can't find Carl's e-mail address to e-mail him directly.

Carl if you read this or if anyone else has it could you send it to me please.

Thanks,
