Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Hi Everyone I would like to share something my neigbor said to me yesterday which is good for a person who looks for wasted cigerette butts laying around (provided its from a well used area) offices etc.. She told me that tobacco is good for plants, when you make a tea solution out of the remaing dry leaves found in ash trays. Simply dispose of the filter and roll back the unused portion and drop it in a bowl or small container of water and let it set for a day or so-perhaps 6 or seven rolled ones of whats left. The chemicals in the tea of which I asked her "Do you boil it or what and she said "No" "You just soak it and it will turn into a tea, than you sprinkle your plants that have aphids on them with the tea and they die -its like a plant soap but a natural remedy.much like the store brought plant soap sprays but she learned it since childhood when she was growing up in Kentucky, I might add she is a fervant gardener and veggies as a time past down tradition in her familey down South. Thanks for all the good help remedies Rita BWJRAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 This works because the tobacco tea is a poison to the aphids and the plant too. if you apply too much or too often you can burn the plant.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Somewhere i heard that if you take tobacco tea and boil it down to a paste, and put that paste on blowgun darts, it will work as a deadly poison to animals and even humans. Of course i have never tried this. Has anyone on the list tried it?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 I went to school with a very scary guy who hunted like this. Never saw him do it, but I did whiff his vial of 'concentrated nicotine', and phew, it sure smelled poisonous. --ST >Somewhere i heard that if you take tobacco tea and boil it down to a paste, >and put that paste on blowgun darts, it will work as a deadly poison to >animals and even humans.
