Yeah, I remember that thread, but I was just thinking...man it would take a lot of spit to take care of my 12k yard. LOL! Geeessshhh!!!

That was none other than T-Dub (Aka "texas-weed") that revealed the secret ingredients in the popular Nitron surfactant. I did try some and it did help some much to my amazement. It made very hard compacted clay soil somewhat..... je ne sais quoi consistency to it. Squooshy. Yeah squooshy.

It requires repeated treatments so it's not a magic bullet.

Hopefully he'll read this thread and post his recipe again. I'd be interested to try it.

ROFL.

A little background: When my Son was in college, they ran a sample of Nitron -35 through a gas chromatograph to see what it consisted of. Results were basically"

Water
Beer (which is more water)
Surfactant (mild soap like baby shampoo)
Enzyme that resemble human saliva or found in AdolphÂs Meat Tenderizer, Papaya seeds, or the Yucka, or Yucca plant..

Recipe:
Gallon of water
Bottle of stale dark beer.
1-T of baby shampoo
Cup of spit hacking up after drinking first five beers, or 1-T of AdolphÂs Unseasoned Meat Tenderizer, or 1-T of Yucca plant extract.

Mis it up and put in a hose end sprayer, and saturate ground until light foam appears.

I hate to bump a thread that's 15 months old, but if I follow the recipe like this:

Bottle of stale dark beer.
1-T of baby shampoo
Cup of spit hacking up after drinking first five beers, or 1-T of AdolphÂs Unseasoned Meat Tenderizer, or 1-T of Yucca plant extract.

And then I put it in a hose-end sprayer, what should I set the sprayer to in terms of oz/g of water?

Thanks!

Sorry to bump as well, but also wondering what to set sprayer to...anyone...please??
