Did a tea drench this morning, about one gal a plant.. Collected rain water to make tea for the first time.. We have city water and the rain water is an experiment, I am not sure how to tell if it worked or not but you never know till you try.. Saved a couple gals to spray on rest of patch tonight before the rain comes..
