    I make pure castille liquid soap for use in my household. This looks exactly like liquid castille soap. I knew I could use it in the garden. Great to see more ways to use it.

    Once made, you can use JWA to test future water to see if it's soft enough too.
    Cabbage and broccoli get attacked the most of most crops. It's good to use 3-4x a week. Or every 3 days. Keep up the good work Jon!

    Just a safety tip when you’re working with potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. You’re supposed to add this stuff to the water and not the other way around.
    It’s said to be safer that way. I used an ice bath to help keep the reaction cooler when making soap.
    Also protective equipment isn’t a bad idea to have on. The stuff gets in your eyes, or on your skin it could burn you or blind you.

    As a soap maker, please use KOH outside and with safety goggles and a mask.
    I’m definitely going to try this method if I need to!

      This is key. With a pH of over 10, this is at far opposite side of acid, and can ruin your eyes if splashed (and burn skin). Be safe. Once created, it's great, though.

    Mine is real thick right now, like maple syrup. I haven't waited the last day yet, I will check it tomorrow. It would be real nice, if you have a lot of experience with JADAM, if you could make a video on fabricating the water softener like he did in the book.

      If you drill too hard, it will turn into a white cream. Add a little more water and let it sit for a few days. It will return to normal.

    Thanks, would't it be easier to make higher potency liqid soap - KOH + canola oil, and add the soap to water when needed? As the rain water is soft and good for soap making it would be good for this aplication too. What do you think?

  • @atulagarwal5514

  • @SimpleEarthSelfReliance

    I still often end up with it being milky white, and I use the same (same batch) of pure, filtered rainwater every time. It's finnicky.

    • @TheSamsni
      @TheSamsni 5 місяців тому +1

      Mistakenly made hard soap as well and had to use brute force to mash it up into a paste after adding 2 liters of water. Would let it sit for a bit and then add another 6 liters. Hope it turns out ok

    • @mardirazzberry
      @mardirazzberry 5 місяців тому

      @TheSamsni Yes, so much soap,using for other things, wash cars, clean outside stuff, even to clean outside carpets. As well as o plants to kill aphids and fungus on Magnolia tree. It's working.

    • @hawperify
      @hawperify Рік тому

      I think it can also happen if some of the tools you use to make it have mineral deposits. I used a large stainless pot, that I had previously used to boil potatoes for JMS. I had cleaned the pot, but I think there was still some mineral deposits on it. Even with distilled water, that batch came out cloudy and milky. Just made a new batch in a fresh bucket and made sure all other tools didn't have mineral deposits. It's in the final stages now, but is that nice transparent golden color.

  • @josephlarsen

    i'm surprised the water didn't work, since the water from a dehumidifier is basically just distilled water

    • @IjeomaThePlantMama

    I mean no disrespect, but this is pretty much just a modification of making liquid hand/dish soap. I am curious with the fancy names associated with the original creators of these products but not their touted efficiency.
    I understand that there is no ill intentions behind these videos, and I find them interesting, but these are just marketed differently by different names in modern marketplace. This is what I would find equivalent to Ivory dish soap, which is biodegradable, not technically organic in semantics (I am okay with using sparingly in my organic gardening), but something that is very effective in killing insects. When necessary, I usually use 1 Tablespoon to 1 gallon of water of Ivory liquid dish soap to kill wasps that unfortunately were not forced to relocate soon enough and are a present danger to human health.
    The Ivory solution is very effective dispatcher of all other insects as well.
    I appreciated the video nonetheless.

    • @jarredkushnerd13

      When a label specifies biodegradable do we know how long that process takes? JWA is 5 days

    • @kateonianlaw1127
      @kateonianlaw1127 Рік тому +4

      @@jarredkushnerd13 It is true that commercial labeling does make biodegradable claims as marketing, but I am sure there is some obscure literature on how long it takes for theirs to break down, and with modern scientific research it is also probably behind a paywall. Yet from experience, it seems comparable, but cannot say for certain. I appreciate you sharing the timescale of breakdown as pleasantly informative.
      I would love to try an adequate comparison in the future when available, but until then thanks for the information.

      JWA is also known as Dr Bronners Castile Soap, but making JWA is $5-10 for a massive supply! It can be used in garden but also made into soaps, laundry detergent and even toothpaste. You are correct in your assumption, but those companies also borrowed this idea too

      It's used for the heating method otherwise commercial made product takes long cook times and big ovens ...the final product is a totally different compound once they are mixed..becomes a natural soap meaning no dyes poisons scents etc. you wash your hands with it ....doesn't harm plants .
