I don't use it, but I do sometime use dish soap and or baby shampoo either as an surfactant or a wetting agent. You really can't put in too much, you should be fine with any of those ratio. Use whatever works for you.
Castor Oil emulsifier concentration
Search isn't surfacing what I'm looking for, so sorry for additional thread. Castor oil needs a little help to emulsify in the water carrier for spraying. The bottle lists ratios all over the map for castor oil : soap. 2:1, 1:1, 1:2... basically any ratio is đź‘Ť
Castor oil has been pretty effective as a mole repellent for me, but I never know how much dish soap to add to the mix. My last application went down 1:1 with 6oz castor oil in 6oz unscented soap, in 2 gallons water.
What recipe/ratio are the rest of you spraying castor oil (if you are)?
