That's right. You can get them in any good grocery store or Walmart for around 4 bucks. I keep one outside to use on my TTF and my mite mix.

Do you strain your TTF? How are you applying it?

Do you think your mite mix would work on Tomato Russet Mites?

When I open a new jug of TTF after shaking it for what seems like forever, I pour half into an empty jug and then shake them both to make sure it is mixed well because the stuff settles a lot. Then I pour them back together again and shake some more. Then I strain it into a Chameleon hose end sprayer full strength and apply it usually with it set to 1 TBS to the gallon after the plants start blooming. As the plants get larger I apply more to the soil around each plant and when they are looking a bit worn I will apply more but I usually keep it at the 1 TBS setting.
