Need Help for my Spray
Hi All, I've been using a Garlic, Pepper and Sage tea for insect control for a couple of years now and am well pleased with the results.
The only problem I'm having with it is rain and heavy dews washs it off. We have periods when it rains almost every day or several times a week making it difficult to keep it on the plants. Does anyone have a suggestion for something harmless I can add to the tea which would make it remain on the plant through rain and dew? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My sprayer and I thank you in advance. Claud |

Most recipes say to add about 1tsp of liquid dishwashing soap to help it stick to the leaves.

Blackstrap Molasses is a good sticker. But normally insect activity diminishes during rainy periods.
