All-Season Green-Up Tonic
1 can of beer,
1 cup of ammonia,
1/2 cup of Plant Shampoo,
1/2 cup of Liquid Lawn Food, and
1/2 cup molasses or corn syrup

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 of run-off every 3 weeks, in the morning, throughout the growing season.

All-Season Clean-Up Tonic

1 cup of Plant Shampoo,
1 cup of antiseptic mouthwash, and
1 cup of chewing tobacco tea*

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.
