Heheheh, well, maybe they added the perfect amount of salt, eh, Sharon? And Special Salt is what Ninna needed.

I still use similar concoctions. Still coming up with even more to try each year. Nice of you to share your recipes. Thanks!

I'm another "I watched Grandma" person, too. I think some of the prettiest flowers came from Grandmothers who shared the dishwater with them. I've read that in those days the soaps contained quite a bit of potassium and no doubt about it that contributed to helping plants flower as well as their overall health. Nowadays, as you've mentioned above, Sharon, detergents are usually a bit too harsh for plants and I believe they might even be potassium-free.

Another nice article. Thanks!
