In a limited investigation, the dictionary says baking soda is
bicarbonate of soda, the side of the box says 13% sodium.
Deduction time.
Does the salty air and brackish water tables, eliminate the protozoa
that makes venus fly traps root rot, allow them to grow wild? What about
adding 1/2 of a teaspoon of salt to one gallon of diluted oil and soap
in water, also doing away with the basic soda?
Brilliant deduction my dear Watson.
