I'm ready to order the ingredients for BLSC recipe, but have a few questions that I'm not clear on.
The recipe states:
80 oz. sodium laureth sulfate
8 oz. Yucca extract
40 oz. tap water
mix all together and this will yield 128 oz of BLSC concentrate. Correct?
Then, use 2 oz of this concentrate and dilute it to cover per 1,000 sq feet. Correct?
Are the Yucca and SLC in this recipe both liquids? I just assumed they were since the measurements are listed in ounces.
Thank you

The commercial products are probably well designed and probably work well. As a home owner trying to manage my turf by learning and understanding the benefits of each component, I feel I can do a better job and possibly save some of the costs. I get why the commercial guys become sensitive when a consumer try's to learn and share information. There is a place for both sides to participate in these discussions. I love to learn from the professionals and most are willing to share. I wish their businesses well and I hope they are successful. 99.5 percent of them do not work in my area so I am mostly one own.
