    Great idea! and happ to read your home remedies too!
    For soap, would you use liquid hand washing soap? Sounds like a dumb question but there it is.

    Thanks!

    Not a dumb question! I'm trying to find the answer to the difference between dishwashing soap and dishwashing detergent; everything seems to say dishwashing "liquid" these days!

    I don't see any reason why liquid hand soap wouldn't work. Soap is soap, right? LOL

    Thanks for the recipes!



    When I just HAD to put Sevin on eggplants on account of
    flea beetles, I set a bottomless 5-gal bucket over the plant,
    and did it in the still of the evening.
