A good option for people when other pesticides will no longer be available on the shelf. Not surprised the bucket was warm, that stuff is basically the potassium version of lye and reacts strongly with water and will give a nasty chemical burn if spilled on you, so be careful, treat it like you would drano, bleach or other strong household chemical you would come across, also good idea to do it outside for ventilation. One thing I think average ppl are not factoring into their SHTF plans are what's going to happen when farms and gardens around their area also stop spraying when its no longer available there will be a rebound in bug populations, so very good that you're showing ppl how to get this ready now!! Many Blessings and hope you're all better now^^

[@bridgetphillips7462]

This is a liquid soap recipe. I'm a soapmaker and have both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide in bulk as well as oils in bulk. This makes sense for me to make. But, for most people, it may be more cost effective to just buy some liquid soap in bulk. Liquid soap does work fabulously for pest control, though! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@MrJasonwoodrow]

That's what I was thinking as soon as I saw the ingredients. I think for most of us a small amount from a regular bottle of liquid soap would act fine as a surfactant for pesticides, or even some herbicide applications (after checking the labels).

[@Nice-qi5cf]

What about Neem soap bars?

[@tylerhartley8531]

This biodegrades in 3 days vs regular soap takes on average 3 weeks.

[@reneewittman3294]

Our biggest issues are squash beetles and rabbits/deer. The squash beetles I pick off and drop in soapy water, but finally had to get a spray because they were breeding so much faster than I could kill them, in huge numbers. THAT SAID, for rabbits and deer, I make a 'tea' out of hot water and red pepper flakes, strain the flakes, pour into spray bottle, dollap of dish soap so it sticks, and I spray it on plants.

[@kathys9786]

Glad to see you are feeling better!

[@jojow8416]

Thank you so much for all this wonderful information. I am loving your gardening tip videos. God Bless and keep shining your radiant lights out to us.

[@ahhason]

adding 15 percent neem oil and 85 percent canola helped me create a stronger JWA style pesticide. 24% lye concentration.

[@sarahkirbach5040]

Just love you guys. Love that you’re incorporating your son! Loving the information & will use it this year - if needed 😊😊😊

[@gsdalpha1358]

I'm trying another organic recipe: 1L water, 2ml of liquid soap, 4ml Neem Oil. Wish me luck! Lost one of my acorn squash plant to borers. IDK how they got past my leaf inspection, but the proof is in the vine which withered in 24 hours. NOTE: Please apply this in late evening *after* the bees have left, and avoid the flowers. Save the bees! p.s. I'm spraying this directly on the eggs and pretty much the underside of all the leaves.

[@tooshieg2059]

I used to use neem oil but now that my garden is completely JADAM I'm loving it.

[@twochknsoftaco]

They use distilled water because the water has to be soft water. Very important for it's effectiveness. Just thought I'd mention because I just read that part in the book they listed.

[@charlesdevier8203]

Thanks for saying to use soft water, not tap water. The tap water can nullify the pesticide being used. I use our rain water- naturally soft.

[@Lulu-he9dp]

We are only physically able to do a smaller garden for our summer use and hopefully to dehydrate or freeze some. Frankly, that process is too much for us, but I appreciate the options you present, and we can learn from all your videos. Thank you.

We have had grasshoppers decimate our garden this year and last year. I have tried several things to try and control them and nothing has worked. It is very discouraging. One was an organic homemade garlic spray; one was neem oil and I even tried white flour- supposed to gum up their mouth so they can't eat the plants

[@biatriz4039]

Wow, 🥰

[@ShadowScoutSwede]

@@TheProvidentPrepper Thank you

[@niemandniemand1258]

You created simple liquid soap. ;)

[@karinhart489]

What do you think of using pint jars & lids recycled from other foods instead of canning jars & lids.

[@otrotland5377]

wow, great videos, Have you considered using a hose end sprayer like Jerry Bakers?

[@marygallagher3428]

So, it seems as though you're basically making a liquid soap with natural ingredients then diluting it a bit. I wonder if you could just get liquid, unscented Castile soap and use that as the wetting solution? :-)

[@smadden911]

Yes. Many use Dr. Bonner's castile soap.

[@tooshieg2059]

Yes. I use Dr. Bonners and I think the Peppermint soap works better than the unscented. Peppermint is a natural pesticide.

[@TheWildsissy]

Do you spray it on plants directly? On the dirt? What insects is this best for?

[@otrotland5377]

is jwa a contact spray, wich means it kills bugs as long as it is still wet but after it dries it not longer kills bugs?

[@christineruddy9215]

Hi, can you tell me what quantities I mix the wetting agent with the sulpher perstiside and water please

[@angelnokare6906]

Potassium hydroxide has "toxic" label on it. Is it really okay to use this? Just making sure

[@abomohamed601]

Is potash hydroxide an alternative to sodium hydroxide?

[@Nice-qi5cf]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

[@debrajones7349]

At one time you said you had some thick berry bushes growing around the edge of your garden. Provided not only fruit but also privacy from strangers viewing your garden. What type of bushes were they please?

[@debrajones7349]

Pretty sure I won’t make it to Utah but thank you anyway! FYI I’m accumulating supplies to make my first comfrey salve. You sent me a start of comfrey and I now have it growing in as many areas as I can! I love that plant! Thank you again 🥰

[@PinkinPA]

With the potassium and oil, you made a liquid soap. You can just save some Dr.Bronners.

[@otrotland5377]

Have you ever had it get hard as a hard bar of soap?

[@brightstarr57]

I am not controlling the pests...I am in MS and it is HOT and the plants get solo dry...need to water more and keep up with bugs...

[@terristucki7740]

How do you apply it to the plants ( and not use too much)? Does it help with squash bugs?

[@Songer80]

Just spray till everything is coated. It works for squash bugs. You can use doctor Bonner's liquid Castile soap too.

[@terristucki7740]

@@Songer80 is it the poison or after I apply this, I apply diatomaceous earth or whatever I am using? Thank you for your reply

[@Songer80]

@@terristucki7740 I add 1 Tablespoon of soap to 2 quarts of water. Always do a test spot to see how it will affect your plant. Put it in a sprayer and spray it right on the bugs. It only works when you coat the bugs. I go out every other day and check my plants for squash bugs and if I see any, I spray the bugswith the soapy water. I don't spray the whole plant. Good luck.

[@VeronicaRonniDorval2638]

Neem, not sure if it's working though cause we lost all our peppers and tomatoes 😭

[@smadden911]

I've been so desperate I've used DE. Human grade of course. It hurts benefiting bugs but I don't see any! Just vine borers and squash bugs eating everything! I need my vegetables!

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

Speaking of "caustic", I wonder if you should be working with plastic stoage lids instead of the metal canning lids? Hmmmmm....

[@smadden911]

By the time of dilution the soap has cured so not as caustic.

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

@@smadden911 Now I know. Thanks for the clarification! :)

[@ivahihopeful]

I wonder if you could wash dishes with that.

[@Aaron2372]

You can. I just watched the video. I will have to check the measurements given in my soap calculator. I prefer using coconut oil. A previous comment discussed the dangers of KOH (lye). I agree with that. With proper safety and research I will make my own. I plan to use some lemon or orange oil for dishes.

[@Aaron2372]

I have been making soap with NAOH for years. One thing I would prefer to use is a stick blender or just make it hot process soap.

[@Songer80]

Yes you can. It's just soap without all the nasty chemicals.

[@suzannestack7784]

Is this castille liquid soap?

[@moniquem783]

No

[@Songer80]

Yes, I asked the guy who translated the book if it was the same as Doctor Bonner's liquid Castile soap and he said yes. But it's a lot cheaper to make your own.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

Looks like you are making soap.

[@twochknsoftaco]

They basically are. They even list that in the description. The main reason this is a staple on the jadam system is that it's cost effective. Jadams methods are primarily for large scale farming but it can be scaled down as they mentioned. Doesn't make sense to buy liquid soap when you can make your own on a large scale for cheap.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

@@twochknsoftaco Yep. Just reminds me of making my soap. That's all.

[@Antique803]

What pest does it kill? Or not kill?

[@wingwalker2458]

You just made liquid soap.

[@ponchovanillabean8074]

It's soap. Just plain, old soap.

[@moniquem783]

I’m usually a fan of your videos, but people who are not experienced soap makers should not be telling others how to make soap and saying it’s easy and anyone can do it. There are serious safety considerations and simply saying safety first does not cover them. There was no mention of the volcano effect and how to avoid it. Your son may have been wearing gloves and safety goggles, but his arms were uncovered. Sodium hydroxide, caustic soda, will burn if it splatters onto skin. The paint stirrer without anything to shield him from splatters was dangerous too. And the recipe you gave mixes measurement units and uses volume. Soap ingredients must always be weighed, and you either use metric or imperial. Don’t mix them. Anyone who has bothered to read this and is thinking about making it, do more research first. There are many soap making channels on KZbin where you can learn proper safety with soap making. It’s important. Caustic burns are nasty. If you do it wrong and it volcanoes up into your face you’ll be disfigured for life. If you’re not up for doing the research and learning how to make soap properly and safely, then buy a bar of soap and grate it into a pot with a little water. Melt it, then dilute. Same outcome, no danger. I am very disappointed in this channel. I expected better.

This is a great safety message
