Thanks for responding – I will try your mix and see how it works and let you know – keep up the good work…
@ValyTraveler … Maybe if you would spray it right on em. The homemade stuff is not 100% effective. It helps but not with all bugs……Donald
Does this work on stink bugs??
@Tamossa … I’ve yet to have a problem with an off taste. I would maybe stop spraying a week or so before harvest and always wash the vegetables before eating which you should do anyway. Use Ivory soap and not detergent……Donald
So the soap doesn’t hurt the food your growing and going to eat?
@kimiso159 … Ivory is real soap without all the additives……Donald
What is Ivory soap? is it pure white soap you can buy?
@heathermasters1985 … Never noticed if it runs em off or not……Donald
Does this work on House Flies?
@GardenGuy1967 … 5 gal. or larger should do the trick…..Donald
Hello Donald, what size pot did you plant your lettuce in outside the shop? I’m from Canada and am trying a winter garden indoors and am thinking of planting lettuce in 1 of my pots. But I want to make sure the pot is big enough to sustain the plant?? Thanks..
@swanz199 … : ) ….Donald
Trusted pocket knife. LOL!
@shearer1405 … You’ll find the homemade stuff works pretty well if applied often. For really bad bug problems you may want to try Liquid Sevin……Donald
wow i like the bug juice. its too late for this year, but i will be using it next year. i was always scared of putting stuff on my garden but this stuff looks safe.thanks for that.!!!!!
@louis1999ful …Have a friend in TX that did that. He said for two weeks there were bubbles in the garden after watering. LOL…..Donald
I did that and I put too much soap
@donnelly138 … I’ve never had a problem, wash the vegetables after harvest…….Donald
Does the lettuce/spinach ever taste like soap?
@crypto0102 … I no longer own that mower. I now have the JD 930 zero turn, cuts in half the time…….Donald
Just wondered…lol… saw your John Deere mower in the background, has the tranny gone out on it yet? cause it will… mine went in 180 hours use. go read about k46 tranny’s on the web.
@Nerdybudy19 … Hope they give you some good ideas to work into your methods……Donald
I love your vids! You do such a great job teaching us! I subscribed
I’m only 20 years old but have always wanted someone to teach me on having a vegetable garden and how and what to do with it. You definitely taught me alot! Thankyou!
@WileE116 … Keep a close eye on those plants. I don’t know exactly how long it works and I know it doesn’t work for all insects…….Donald
Now, it has been 2 weeks since using the home made bug spray. I must say so far so good. Thanks again Bayou Gardner!
