Garden tip: Now is a great time to clean off your garden area. When the clean up work is completed, use this mixture to rid your garden of insect and disease. Mix one can of beer, one can of regular cola and a half-cup of shampoo together in a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer. This will be great for next spring planting.
