When I harvest herbs, I do give them a half hour soak, with some agitation, in dilute dish soap (1 small squirt per sink full) as soap's surfactant action helps release dirt, bird poop, cobwebs, whatever may be on the leaves. But then I give the leaves at least three rinses with clean, pure water. Leaving soap residue on the leaves sounds like a bad plan. | |

Much less 'MAKE UP my own concoction!! FIND insects or problem, IDENTIFY then figure a treatment!! Then let's talk about the treatment (S). This is what we learn in pesticide applicator license seminars...NEVER what to use! Always, 'what is it we should have done to prevent this from happening in the first place'!!!! Insects are critical for plants! To kill all insects is just wrong. WRONG. And to ever expect total elimination is WRONG again...sigh! | |
