Baby Shampoo as Horticultural Soap
I dunno that I'll ever have need of this little tidbit, but it kinda
interested me, as I used to use dishwashing soap as a horticultural soap to get rid of aphids, until I discovered a good hard spray of water did the job just as well, without injury to ladybug larvae. Jerry Baker (thuggish anti-marijuana hippy-head-bashing police officer cum "America's Master Gardener") suggests using baby shampoo instead of dishwashing OR horticultural soap, because baby shampoo has a very small amount of fungicide in it as well. That was news to me, but interesting, & possibly useful to know. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |
