Rhubarb leaves, even although they ARE poisonous, can be used to make an effective organic spray that will kill leaf-eating insects in your garden. This spray is harmless to bees and breaks down in the soil quickly. To make the rhubarb spray, boil a few pounds of fresh rhubarb leaves in a few pints of water for 20 minutes. Allow the liquid to cool and strain off the liquor into a container. NOTE: BE SURE TO USE OLD UTENSILS AS THIS WILL STAIN AND POISON THE POT AND THE STRAINER! Dissolve some soap flakes (approximately 4 ounces) into the mixture while stirring it vigorously. Pour into a spray bottle and apply to infested plants. REMEMBER! -
DON'T USE THIS SPRAY BOTTLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN YOUR RHUBARB SPRAY!
