Grow May Flowers – With Ease!




We like to grow our own flowers and vegetable plants from seed. Not only does it save money, it’s fun for kids to plant seeds, care and water them and watch them grow into beautiful flowers and yummy vegetables.

I couldn’t imagine doing so without using Basic-H. Yep, the product I wash my car with and clean my floors, I use to help our garden grow. And so do many organic farmers!

Basic-H has long been used as a surfactant in farming and you can easily use it in your own garden.*

When planting seeds Mix 1/2 oz. Basic-H to 1 gallon water; pour this mixture into the seed furrow before placing seeds.

For outdoor plants (foliar feeding) Mix 1/2 oz. Basic-H to 4 gallons
water. Spray every 7-9 days; apply in the evening or on dark days.
I often will pour ½ oz into a Miracle Grow type feeder that hooks to hose, turn on “feed” then go back over and “rinse” with just water. You do not want to leave the Basic-H mixture on the leaves.

For tomatoes Mix 5-6 drops (not quite 1 teaspoon) to 16 oz. water. Apply to ground around the plant, not directly on the plant.

For small trees and shrubs Mix 1/2 teaspoon Basic-H to 1 gallon water; apply with watering can or hose applicator and rinse.

Basic-H -  the most versatile and best loved product!

*Note: Shaklee Corporation does not officially suggest using Basic H2 in the garden and only sells the Basic-H  Classic as the actual surfactant. The Basic-H2 is just a more concentrated version of the classic version. Not responsible for damage to plants.

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...
