Typo in slug spray recipe
In the New Tribune your slug recipe said 1/3 ammonia, 1/3 water. What is the last 1/3?

So sorry, it must have been a typo (not sure if that was me or the newspaper). It should read 1/3 ammonia and 2/3 water. Spray directly onto the slugs. The ammonia converts to nitrogen so you will be feeding the plants as you kill the slugs. Also can be used for washing windows. Thank you for catching that error and Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
