Greetings Everyone! 
I've been reading a bit about using fresh, diluted aloe gel in waterings and foliar sprays. Lots of growers seem to add silica as well.
I have also seen that some people use diluted rosemary oil as pest prevention/remediation in certain circumstances.
I am wondering if anyone has tried using fresh rosemary to make a tea of some sort and used this on the soil or as a foliar spray; clearly it will not be as potent as the essential oil dilution (depending on your recipe I suppose) but would perhaps offer protection and immune boosters?
Anyone out there tried this or made similar herbal teas (peppermint, lavender, etc.) for your soil / foliar sprays?
