Okay, I found a large mealy bug on my mint plant the other day. So I thought I’d try my diluted garbage enzyme on it. From this single experiment (need to test more to draw solid conclusions), I’ll say that the G.E. does work in killing mealies – I sprayed on it before work, and about eight hours later when I came home to check the mealy’s carcass was just fluffy cotton.

First batch of white sage didn’t sprout.
Re-heated second batch directly on the aromatherapy burner and re-sowed.
Now let’s see how this batch does.

Anything that kills mealy bugs is good! Thumbs up for your garbage enzyme!

=) Thanks girl. You might wanna try making G.E. too?
It helps to keep waste down and it’s useful also. =)

how much did you dilute it, sky?

I think I use 1ml of G.E. to maybe…20ml of water…
