So what is the rhubarb leaf mix suppose to be good for?

Thanks!! I already copied this to a Word file, so I can print it out. I really like the idea of killing ants with garlic. DD cannot get it through her head that insecticides that she wants to use to kill ants in the kitchen, are trying to kill me by giving me an allergic reaction--I wheeze, my nose stops up, and I generally try to not die from asphixiation!!
DEFINITELY gonna try that one.

I've read where dry, ground corn meal also kills ants. Ants can't digest corn, so when it hits their digestive tract, it swells, bursts.......good thing they are ants are not some cute animal otherwise corn would be considered a hazardous waste.

Better hide this from PETA--they'll demand MORE tax money to fight with!!

Would these be safe on a vegetable garden? Especially the nicotine spray. I've heard that people who smoke shouldn't touch the plants that are susceptible to TMV.

I've heard that one too. My SIL told me "That's why my tomatoes didn't grow last year, because the smoke from the back patio killed them."


(That , plus the fact that she watered them 3 times the entire summer!!)
