THE GREENEST GRASS ON THE BLOCK (LAWN SPRAY)



The Greenest Grass on the Block (Lawn Spray) image

With spring just around the corner, I thought I would post this. A good friend gave this "recipe" to me. It works wonders for keeping your lawn nice and green. ADD 4 ounces Listerine Mouthwash to the recipe, ZAAR wont allow it as an ingredient, so it isn't listed, but does need to be added.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 10m

Yield 1 unit, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup ammonia
1 cup liquid dish soap
1 (12 ounce) can beer
1 (12 ounce) can cola
1 teaspoon instant tea

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients together, including 4 ounces Listerine mouthwash, and put into an empty "Miracle Grow" container that attaches to your watering hose.
  • Spray your lawn with the mixture once every few weeks.
  • The ammonia acts like a fertilizer, the dish soap washes off pollutants, the beer kills the weeds.
  • DO NOT use diet soda, it needs the sugar, and the mouthwash kills the bugs.
  • Happy Lawn Growing!
