Homemade Organic Fungicide/Insecticide/Fertilizer
I'm not usually one to spray stuff on plants but maybe if I develop any issues later this season I'll keep this recipe in mind.

Jenn,
Thanks for posting this. I have it in my garden folder just in case.

Thanks for posting this. I have a blue star juniper shrub which appears to have blight. Do you think this will help for that? Also where do I find liquid seaweed?
Great post. Organic fertilizers are the need of the day as the inorganic ones are causing much of damage rather than any good.
