I knew someone tried to renove a rosebiudh, rtoots & all -- tried hacking,
digging, ;ulling, then found a buddy with a 4X4 & a winch -- snapped the
bumper off first try, then broke the winch the next time!

My wife found a 4L sprayer on Amazon, fill it with a simliar mixtire (+1tsp
dish soap), micx well, pump it up before you go, press the release & it
spreays itself as you walk around the garden. . .

If our Carolina Reapers(hottest pepper per Guinness) grow, I intend to make a
mixture of strong pepper juice & salt to sell as garden protectant (will 
deter snails, slugs, & sniffy mammals like cats, raccoons, rats, et al)

The one I read, also "true story" had the IRS contacting the guy to angrily
demand why he sent a cheque for $0.00, because it broke their computer!

One of those stories you really hope are true!
