All-Season Tonics

Everywhere I go, folks want to know what the best tonics are for cleaning and greening up their yards. Well, here's how to make my amazing All-Season Tonics that'll turn your yard into a green grass paradise overnight.

All-Season Green-Up Tonic		All-Season Clean-Up Tonic
1 can of beer, 1 cup of ammonia, 1/2 cup of dishwashing liquid, 1/2 cup of liquid lawn food, and 1/2 cup molasses or corn syrup (Heartweed-I have also used just plain sugar)		1 cup of lemon dish detergent 1 cup of antiseptic mouthwash, and 1 cup of tobacco tea*
Mix all of the ingredients in a bucket, and pour into your 20 gallon hose-end sprayer. Apply to everything in your yard to the point or run-off every 3 weeks, in the morning, throughout the growing season.		Mix all of the ingredients in your 20 gallon hose-end sprayer, filling the balance of the sprayer jar with warm water. Apply to your entire yard to the point of run-off every 2 weeks, in the evening, to discourage insects and prevent disease.

*Tobacco Tea: To make tobacco tea, place half a handful of chewing tobacco in an old nylon stocking, and soak it in a gallon of hot water until the mixture is dark brown.

NOTE: So if ya see me around town buying beer and tobacco just know its for my GARDEN!!
