I have long been a devotee of Jerry Baker (On The Garden LIne) and I use his "All season Green-up Tonic" on my garden, both in the ground and potted plants and my peppers seem to love it. the recipe is: 1 can of beer (cheap beer - the kind you use for slugs) 1 cup of ammonia 1 cup of baby shampoo 1 cup of liquid lawn food 1 cup of molasses mix it all together and apply with a 20 gal hose-end lawn sprayer (the hose end sprayer will hold about 2/3rds of this mix. I use the entire batch on my 35 x 90 garden. -- Andie Paysinger & the PENDRAGON Basenjis,Teafer,Cheesy,Singer & Player asenji@earthlink.net So. Calif.
