Question on Tobacco Tea
"McGerm" wrote in message ... I have been catching up on my garden reading here in Zone 6. One of the things I picked up at the library was a DVD on tree and shrub care. Among the things it said to do was to use a 'clean-up tonic' once every two weeks to discourage insects and diseases. The DVD made it sound like a very good thing to do. Clean-Up Tonic 1 Cup lemon-scented liquid dish soap 1 Cup of antiseptic mouthwash 1 Cup of chewing tobacco tea The tobacco concerns me, specifically tobacco mosaic virus. Will this treatment spread the virus? According to sources online TMV infects and kills tomatoes/peppers/eggplant/ cubits, annual flowers, orchids, and hundreds of other ornamentals. Jim best advice I can give with those ingredients is this, in the following order: Enjoy the tobacco in some paper with a filter whilst drinking a cup of tea in the morning. Wash the cup in the lemon scented dish washing liquid & set aside to drain. Gargle with mouthwash before you kiss your wife good bye in the morning. Sounds like a far better use for the 'clean up tonic' to me. rob |
