Interesting. Will give a try. They invested my lovely palm and I gave it a brutal cut to save the plant.

I’ve had some success with onion & chilli brew with a drop of dish detergent. It doesn’t keep well though.

I'm pretty shit at gardening. I've killed bamboo before. Twice. There's no hope for me.

white oil and such last longer, that's why they are more expensive
