Well, as luck would have it, that original 13 spices mixed with oil, vinegar, and potassium bicarbonate was the exact right mixture to not only cure the powdery mildew and spider mites, but I also noticed it was ‘finishing’ the plants. The hairs were turning orange and the crystals were turning cloudy and amber. It took me a month of testing to believe my own eyes and at the end of that testing I realized I had discovered something special that would benefit many farmers. The magic is in the spices.
