Garlic and Vinegar

[Guest joshdonlan]

Am i right in thinking that Ad Schaerlackens uses Garlic and Vineger in the water at the same time?

 

Also he says that theres no difference between balsamic vinegar and apple cider vinegar?

 

Any thoughts

Hi Josh ,I've never read about cider vinegar and garlic in the water at the same time,but balsamic vinegar,have you seen the price ££££££££££.

Most certainly.

I take 500 ml of cider vinegar, I add a whole head of peeled garlic.

They get this 4 times a week.

The Vinegar keeps garlic fresh and it infuses into vinegar.

I add 10-15 ml per liter depending how hot it is.

 

Got the tip from a top Belgium fancier.

cheers mate

 

will use that recipe  

[gulkie]

i have mixed them both for years and there is no sign of any ill effects

so far sun/tues/wed every week    ;)

[Guest anto]

ive always used both togeather  

[Ulsterman]

is it ok to keep using cider vinegar with newly hatched young in the nest.

[Guest joshdonlan]

I cant see it doing any harm as its natural product, but it may reduce water intake  :-/ Not sure good question.

[Guest strapper]

i use fresh garlic cloves.

 

peel the clove..use a wide knife to semi crush the clove ,i put one clove in the drinker.

i also put vinegar in the water sometimes with the garlic.

i would say garlic is a far more useful item/product to use  than vinegar.

my drinkers always stink of garlic.

In this week's BHW page 9 there is a recipe for a tonic which uses both at the same time.

The tonic also contains Naturaline and Lugols Iodine.

ah right, and how long do you leave it in the loft........do you change and renew or give fresh water for the rest of the week ?  

 

 

[Guest IB]

I'd be concerned that taste may put birds off drinking.  Other bit is mixing alkaline garlic with an acid as there is a chemical reaction, but I don't know what happens when you do it.

[celtic]

Anybody use the pure garlic powder that you get from farmshops ?

i leave it to next morning in the drinker then top it up next day, then they have fresh , but i have read of many top fanciers who are starting to just top the drinkers up each day including the great flier gary inkley , my birds look very well on this tonice , i also use a iron/iodine tonic as well and thats all i do each week
