Posted on Monday, March 21st, 2011 at 5:12 PM

Happy first of Spring! I'm so excited to get out there and start planting. Here is a great recipe to help repell beetles, scale, mealybugs and whiteflies. Three ingridients is all it takes!

Materials Needed:

  • 2 Cups of rubbing alcohol
  • 1 Quart of tap water
  • 2 Teaspoons of Ivory Liquid Soap
  • 1 Preval Sprayer

What to do:

  1. Mix all three ingridients in a bucket
  2. Fill Preval reservior with Mixture
  3. Attach Preval power unit to the reservoir
  4. Test on a few leaves of plants to make sure they won't be damaged by the mixture
  5. Spray evenly over plants to ensure overall coverage.
  6. Sit down and relax with a nice mixed drink.

Enjoy the longer days and the sunshine! It's great to be back outdoors intentionally!
