Irrigation Systems

Fruit Trees: Apply ½ tablespoon of

Basic H² per 5 gallons of water. It can be

applied in early Spring up until the trees

are in full bloom…. Then after the bloom

has fallen off (pollination has taken place),

spray every week to 10 days until the fruit

is ripe. ( if insects are still a problem increase Basic H² up to ½ tablespoon per

gallon of water)

Wire Worms: For wire worms in

apples, use 1 cup of Basic H² concentrate

around each tree, about 1½ feet out from

the trunk. Soak the ground with water

Sick Trees: Dilute 2 cups of Basic H² in 5

quarts of water. Feed tree at base with 1

quart of mixture per day….. for six days. This will take care of fungus and diseases.

(Do not feed seedlings this mixture… use

regular formula under “Shrubs and Tress”)

Webb Worm: Add 2¼ cups of Basic H²

to 1 gallon of water. Completely drench

the tree with this mixture. Let sit for 30-

45 minutes. Then rinse down the tree

with water. This will take care of hard to

kill insects in orchards and lawn trees.

How to Use Shaklee Products

Shaklee Basic H² is an all organic, biodegradable

wetting agent, developed “In Harmony with

Nature and Good Health”, as are ALL Shaklee

Products.

In the Spring before Planting: With an

ortho sprayer apply 1 cup of Basic H² to

every 5,000 square feet of garden

In the Fall after Harvest: Follow the same

instruction for Spring above.

Planting: Mix ½ tablespoon Basic H² to a

gallon of water. Pour this in the furrow

before dropping in the seeds.

House Plants:

When potting new plants, use 1

tablespoon of Basic H² per gallon of

water. For added trace minerals, dissolve

12 Shaklee Alfalfa tablets in the water

Once a month, in one of the watering,

add 2 drops of Basic H² to 2 cups of

water (dissolve 3 Shaklee Alfalfa tablets in

the water for trace minerals.)

Shrubs and Trees: Use the same mixture

as suggested for house plants above.

NEVER spray plants with Basic H² while they

are in blossom. The wetting action will wash

the pollen away.

It is always best to spray in the evening when

the sun is down, or on a cloudy day.

Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower Worms:

Add ½ teaspoon of Basic H² in 16 oz of water.

Spray plants each week or every 10 days until

the worms are no longer a problem.

Bug Spray Mixture: For plants (except rose-

bushes and tomatoes):

Mix concentrate 1/4 cup Shaklee Basic G +

3/8 cup Shaklee Basic H²

Fill ortho sprayer with concentrate

-set the dial at 1… you will

automatically spray a dilute mixture

of 1 tablespoon of concentrate per

gallon of water

For hard to kill bugs or beetles, set the

ortho sprayer dial at 2

What is Basic-H

1. As a wetting agent (surfactant), it increases the

rate at which water penetrates soil (up to 300%

more water penetration!), thereby, reducing

runoff and loss of evaporation

2. Deeper penetration of water into the soil causes

the roots to reach deeper for the moisture, with

several advantages, some of which are:

sturdier root systems

during dry seasons, there is less drought

damage

deeper penetration of water permits greater

organic matter decomposition and soil

manageability

3. Basic H² has a pH of 6.5 which appears to have

the ability to neutralize acid soils and also bring

alkaline soils to balance. When soil is in

apparent balance, earthworm activity increases,

which in return aerates the soil, increases

fertility, and improves water penetration. Earth-

worms produce minerals and nutrients as they

burrow through the soil every day. They

burrow holes for oxygen, which loosens the soil,

creating that important nutrient-NITROGEN

4. Basic H² acts as a nutrient release (tests have

shown that gardens treated with Basic H² have

more trace elements and minerals available to

the plant)

5. It assists drainage in areas where standing water

might otherwise accumulate

6. It also acts as a natural pesticide….since 90% of

insects have an oil coating, Basic H², as a wetting

agent, (penetrates the outer shell and actually

suffocates the insect. Insect eggs are softened by

the spray, which prevents hatching

How to Use Basic H²

NOTE: Before you go out to plant the

garden, rub Basic H² diluted with 50% water

into your hands like a lotion. This acts like an

invisible glove, and your hands will clean up

easier when you are finished.

Rose Bushes & Tomatoes: Add 6

drops of Basic H² to 16 oz (500 mL)

sprayer. This will protect against aphids,

spiders, etc.
