| william...... Have you ever used the JB nicotine concoction? Some say it kills beneficial insects, earthworms and soil organisms, along with the bad bugs. I have seen several blogs discussing his "recipes", so you may be able to google up the formula, if no one has his books. I have never used any of his homemade remedies and probably won't. Some of them seem pretty far fetched to me. My 2¢ Rb |

| Do you mean the one for tobacco tea? 1/2 handful of chewing tobacco in an old nylon stocking. fill a clean milk jug (or container) w/gallon of very hot water. Then soak the tobacco-filled stocking in the hot water until the water turns dark brown. Label container and add to tonic when called for. I don't think this is the one you want. Is it the one w/used cigarette butts? |

| it was the one in the water jug and stocking but i thought it had listerene, beer, ammonia and something else. i used it while living in phila and it worked pretty good on tomatoes and peppers. i have not used any chemicals the 2 yrs i have lived here but the stink bugs/ squash bugs have really been bad this yr. i don't want any chemicals but i have to do something. william |

| Thanks, Bonnie I will try the one with garlic,onion, pepper, and dish soap. No tobacco here. Stink bugs have been making my tomatoes bumpy with uneven ripening. I don't remember having this problem before. |
