Re: scale remedy

Cooking oil is too heavy and processed for putting on your  plants. Use 
horticultural oil which is a lightweight oil for treating scale.  Water won't 
knock scale off a plant.

My big  overwintering problem is scale on a 20-year-old bay leaf plant.   
Treating with cooking oil spray seems worth trying. The plant is too   
heavy to lug into the shower every week.
