Hi,
Dumb question...
Could paw paw be used to make a water (like willow water), that could be
sprayed with a sticker/spreader to make an organic pest spray and or deer
deterent?
Also wonder about Oxcyllic (sp?) acid in rhubarb. I know that an old
nicotine spray was made from tobbaco for small scale insect control.
Could paw paw and rhubarb be used in a similar fashion?
Just curious.
