TREE FORMULA

Al Carrell: Now you probably wonder why I'm whipping this tree. It's not because I don't like it. It's called flogging for foliage and when a tree starts to bud out in the beginning of the season, then you want to give it a quick start so it'll get going. We'll show you a formula that'll help it to do that. Come on. Now, a lot of people think that if you have a shot of whiskey before you get started that that's going to give you a good start. Well, I'm not going to drink the whiskey. It's part of the formula for the tree. First of all, you want to pour in a can of beer. It doesn't make any difference what kind of beer it is, just pour it in there. And then the next thing you're going to do is use a shot glass. Now, you're not going to use a shot glass to take a shot for yourself - it's just a good way to measure and end up with the equal amounts of all this other stuff. We do put a shot of whiskey in there. And then if this really works out right we'll come back and maybe drink a little celebration whiskey. Whiskey and beer, never fear. Now we want to have a shot glass of hydrogen peroxide. Everybody has that in their house. Pour that right in that baby. Then the next thing we're going to do is pour in some liquid fertilizer. Any brand that you get is going to be okay. And just a shot glass of that. You notice we're mixing this in the hose-end sprayer. That's how we're going to put it out and let me shake it up a little bit and we're ready to go back out and feed that tree. Now you want to spray from the trunk out to the drip line all the way around the tree. When you get that done you're ready to have some fun. You can start flogging your tree.
