LOCAL RECIPES

Betty Aye sent us her "recipe" for a grasshopper repellent; a great thing to try out with the hordes of hoppers around the area. Not for human consumption.

Grasshopper Brew

2 C. vinegar

6 or 8 cloves of garlic

1 pkg cheap chewing tobacco

1 C. water

Simmer for about 15 minutes (not near mealtime). Pour into small flat container, place every 3 feet or so - must be kept wet.

Taken from a farm magazine, maybe in 1988.
