My view entirely. I was fast approaching the $1000 tomato, so I had to curb my spending. Making my own was the best thing I did, now I know I don't have to buy the stuff peddled by the snake oil salesman.
Here is a question? I make cheese during the winter, and part of the process produces large quantities of whey, same as from Yogurt, up to 2 gallons of the stuff. Suppose I made up the LB from it, and applied it at full strength? Would it do any damage, as the suggestions are to use it at 1-20 dilution.
If I was to use the suggested strength I would have some 40 gallons of product to use. I could spray the neighborhood.
