Molasses Tip - Thank you and info for Brigitte
Hey Nuthoney
That was me...you are most welcome.. For Brigitte Mix a tablespoon of molasses in warm water and let cool..spray every week or every 2 weeks as required for white cabbage moth..they hate it..and I think it would be good soil conditioner as well if any drops on your soil.. It works for me...but gotta do it before white butterfly lays eggs...otherwise you might have to use the 2 finger method and squash grubs for your garden birds.. Best wishes Danny "nutNhoney" wrote in message ... To the kind soul who posted the tip for spraying members of the cabbage family with a molasses solution, thank you so much. Today, I noticed a white moth hovering around my brussel sprouts. I quickly made up a solution of molasses and rushed back to the garden to spray. The moth did not land! It seemed to be repelled by the molasses. I sprayed the broccoli too for good measure. I think I will spray again for the next few days. If it keeps the cabbage caterpillars off, I will be so happy. Thanks again! |

A tablespoon of molasses in how much warm water? A cup? A liter? A gallon? If it doesn't matter, why does "a tablespoon" matter?
