Oh really?
Bry,
Perhaps you should do your own research before debunking that of others. http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPa...=doi1068248028 ( http://www.sciencenews.org/20020629/food.asp (Week of June 29, 2002; Vol. 161, No. 26) Mortality rate at 55% in concentrations as low as .5% (one-half percent). Repellent at .1%. As long as they are gone, I don't care whether they died or whether they simply moved to friendlier soil so I won't debate you about what my final application rate was. The stuff is deadly in the concentrations normal for NoDoze. I broadcast fresh grounds at about twice the rate I would apply fertilizer to my lawn. I had hoped to give folks a better number to work with by now, but the stuff works so well, there hasn't been much reason to re-applyit. My best guess as to an application rate would be about 1# per 100 sq ft. I have 280 sq ft (I garden in raised boxes so I have a pretty good handle on my sq footage) and I get almost two applications from a 5# can. Okay ... you've got the research links. Debate _them_ if you want. I've provided my proofs and won't waste more time defending what I KNOW (from research and direct personal experience) to be true with someone who has done neither the research nor the actual experimentation. Bry, I think the Brits on this list are well able to clue you in about tea and caffeine and Queen Victoria. That they haven't already is a testament to their generally good manner. However, as a 51 year old American, I can assure you that my mother was not a "Victorian" woman. Nonetheless, I didn't get this recipe from her -- I got it from the research conducted at the University of Hawaii that was published in June of 2002. You are guessing. I am speaking from experience. Have a nice day. Bill |
