The 18 Characteristics of Basic-H:
1. ORGANIC: as an all-organic product, Basic H promotes the growth of healthier plants.
2. WETTING AGENT: makes water 300 times wetter, overcoming water repellency in soil.
3. SURFACTANT: penetrates even light clays and permits greater organic decomposition, breaks down cohesive tension of capillary water.
4. SOIL IGNITER: promotes a healthier, balanced soil by releasing or unlocking nutrients often bound by chemical overuse.
5. PROMOTES ABSORBENCY: allows soil to absorb rain, reducing runoff and evaporation, and hold moisture longer in dry conditions. Also increases absorption of soil nutrients carried by water to plant roots.
6. SOIL SOFTENER: soil becomes mellow and easier to work, less need for plowing.
7. REDUCES CHEMICAL USE: allows less chemical use, lessening the danger of residue killing or reducing the stand of the following drop when crops are rotated.
8. GERMINATION: allows faster germination as a result of its wetting action.
9. YIELD: normal to higher yield with less expense.
10. NO CLOGGING: keeps spraying equipment, nozzles and tanks clean.
11. NO ODORS: leaves no offensive odors as do some oil treatments.
12. CLEANING AGENT: mixed with water, Basic H can be used in cleaning pipelines, stainless bulk tanks, and other farm equipment.
13. NO BURNDOWN: does not re**rd the growth of crops as do some oils used as suspension agents in spraying.
14. ECONOMICAL: cost of application less, from 1/2 to 3/4 of oil treatment.
15. W**D CONTROL: used as a suspension agent instead of crop oil in spraying, allows good or better w**d control.
16. INSECT REPELLENT: when sprayed on farm animals, Basic H has proven as a repellent, actually suffocating flies and other insects.
17. NO RESIDUAL EFFECT: Basic H leaves no residual effect in soil or on plants, when applied according to directions.
18. INCREASES PROTEIN CONTENT: studies indicate that crops treated with Basic H from inception, tend to test out a greater protein content.

RECIPE for GRUBS: (ground moles move to the next yard when their food source has been treated with Basic H) Suggestion: better share this recipe with your neighbors also.
GRUBS: 1 1/2 quart BASIC H, 1/2 pint Basic G with 10-12 gallons water.
Spray every 100 feet. Use Ortho Sprayer or injector..
