Beer and Soap for the lawn
I did use the receipe and it worked as well as it can with the drought
we are in. I have three questions. 1)Do you water immediatly after applying the mix? 2)I read to use 1 tsp per gallon on my sprayer (Ortho Sprayer), is that true? 3)Can I use a Miracle Gro 4 N 1 sprayer as well (thinking I could hook it to my sprinkler) Thanks |

____Reply Separator_____ I usually water after 4-5 beers. One won't do it. Seriously, is this one of Jerry Baker's quick fixes? |

Seriously, is this one of Jerry Baker's quick fixes? I've heard of this done before. I never new the correct proportions to mix though. Basically, what I'm told, is the soap is a surfactant and cleans off the living grass and the organisms in beer helps break down the dead stuff. |

Beer and Soap for the lawn
Well I have a *cough* unnamed source that gave me highly guarded classified
information regarding formulas that have been kept from the public eye. OK, well maybe not. Anyways here it is: Do once every 3 weeks in the morning alternating the diet using the following mixtures which are applied with a 20 gal. hose end sprayer (fill the balance of the sprayer with warm water. If you have a different capacity sprayer adjust recipes accordingly.) Number 1 1 can of beer 1 cup ammonia 1 oz. liquid dish soap 3 tbsp instant tea Number 2 2 oz. liquid fish fertilizer 2 oz. whiskey 1 tbsp. instant tea 1 oz. liquid dish soap Number 3 15-30-15 liquid fertilizer 2 oz. liquid dish soap *put in the dish soap first then fill rest of sprayer with the liquid fert. This is from an older book so I don't know if stuff like liquid fish fertilizer are still around any more. You do not have to water right after applying these as these are applied with a hose end sprayer the water is already mixed in with it. This does not substitute for a regular daily or other normal watering routine that you may use. This is just to feed your grass or garden. BLueCoBra -- A computer once beat in a game of chess. But it was no match for me in kick boxing. "TOM KAN PA" wrote in message ... Do you water immediatly after applying the mix? ____Reply Separator_____ I usually water after 4-5 beers. One won't do it.
