In some of Jerry Bakers chemical formulas his used
like 1 drop of Ammonia per cup or qt.
IE Seed Starting
8 oz weak tea
2 drops Ammonia
2 drops dishsoap
1 drop whiskey
The concept of starting with 1 drop, came from these ideas as
a starting point, instead of 1 tbsp per gal.

Byron, your basic thoughts "2" mentions "1 drop per". 1 drop of WHAT? Are
you referring to bleach? Salt (NaCl)?
