5 uses of black soap to know for the outside

• Product preparation: Prepare a 5% dilution by diluting 50 g of liquid black soap (5 tablespoons) per liter of water, using lukewarm water to facilitate dilution. You can add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to prevent the solution from foaming too much. Let the solution cool and put it in the tank of a sprayer. Spray the affected plants (regardless of the type of plants, fruit trees and roses included), including the underside of their leaves. Repeat the operation for 3 days in 3 days if necessary, until the insect colonies have disappeared.
• Precautions for use: Proceed with the treatment in the morning or in the evening, to avoid direct sunlight and strong heat. Do not spray in rainy weather.

Wetting agent for Bordeaux mixture

A wetting agent is frequently used to increase the effectiveness of a Bordeaux mixture spray. It allows better adhesion and better efficiency of foliar treatment products and limits the phenomenon of washing due to watering and rain.

• Preparation of the product: Instead of buying a commercial wetting product, put in your sprayer 25 tablespoons of liquid black soap for 5 liters of Bordeaux mixture.
