Re: [compost_tea] Re: garlic, hot pepper & fungi
I will have to check. I have never used it but had a client who did. I sa=
w the containers and it was labeled 100% derived from cayenne. It was supp=
osed to be neutral to the plants. I was using a sprayer and they put that =
stuff through the sprayer. The odor was so bad and persistent that I had t=
hem junk the sprayer for any further tea applications.

Ted,
What deer repellents are you talking about? Are you certain that
the smell is coming from the cayenne? I have used hot pepper spray
for insect deterrence and have not noticed the odor being
particularly unusual or bad.
Hot pepper is used as a component in a number of deer repellents
that also use ingredients like rotten eggs...one of them that I have
used, Liquid Fence, smells about as close to the Fresh Kills
landfill as have come since leaving Staten Island, NY! Or like a
cross between Fresh Kills and a dirty, wet dog. Once it dries, it's
pretty unnoticeable, but if it's drizzling and I'm deadheading
plants with this stuff on it, I do get a whiff of Eau de Wet Dog
again.
