I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Plant Identifier
So I have a recipe courtesy of a fellow ATP member to make some stinky brew containing hot peppers, garlic, dishsoap, milk, eggs, and oil. I read up on liquid fence, which is quite pricey if you are using very much of it, and I have read that this home made recipe will work just as well for far less money. I am wondering if anyone here has had experience spraying it directly on the daylily foliage/buds and if you foresee any problems with doing so. It may be repelling deer, but will it attract other animals? I almost wondered if the egg part would attract rats? I am spraying this stuff on everything in my yard as soon as it stops raining here. I also bought some wireless deer fence stakes and I am going to put those out. well someone on another post was asking about foliar feeding for ?roses? I can't remember now, so that got me wondering if spraying directly on the daylily foliage will do anything to them?
I have read that the egg part actually dries kind of hard like and helps it to last a long time and a few places I read that it even sticks after an average rain. Of course if it rains really hard it probably washes off then.
