For those of you who murder your pests with Nicotine

So, I discovered something a little while ago.
When you make the tea from tobacco leaves, after a few days it gets all opaque and chunky looking because of bacteria starting to ferment it, righhht?
If you have a store near you that specializes in alcohols and such, buy a thing of Potassium Sorbate, it's a stabilizer that prevents fermentation which they normally put into wine and the like.
I had a ton left over from my past winemaking and such and mixed some up in my tobacco tea the other day, and I have had 0 nastiness thus far, I'll let you know how long it goes without getting all chunky in Teh Futurrre.
Thought you might wanna know.
Also, any good ideas for snails, because they're pissing me the fuck off and munching on my tobacum and rustica seedlings?

will ur spray work for killing fungus gnats?
and if so, do you think it would be harmful to mycelium, or fruitbodies

Snails are easy buggers to deal with Beer in funnel traps with some DE around the plants works foolproof.
Justme, I'm unsure if tobacco spray harms mycelium or not, but it does work quite effectively against fungus gnats. But as far as I know, it only works on critters with nervous systems

Beer traps with DE sounds like a really painful way for a snail to die, haha.

I doubt the tobacco water itself will, but the stabilizer could potentially slow down your growth rate, because thats kind of its purpose-- stopping microscopic organisms from omnomnomming on shit. But just plain tobacco water should work for ya.

I thought DE didn't work once it got wet?

it doesn't work well when wet, that's the trouble. salt is better but it isn't great to be putting salt around your plants obviously

I approve of this method.
Another good method of killing pests is coffee added with the tobacco tea. Brew some extra strong and add plenty of tobacco. Also if you got ant problems I heard that ants don't dare cross a line of cinnamon. Which I can't confirm.
