Yucca and Aloe - wetting agents

[NebulaNuggets]

Hi guys

Been reading up on IPM and foliar sprays and I was wondering if anyone has used yucca or aloe as a wetting agent. There's a crap ton of aloe in my yard, and this yucca

What part of the yucca should I use? They are all over the neighborhood, and all starting to flower. I have seen yucca for sale (maybe it was BAS that carries it?) and was wondering how to make my own?

IPM and surfactant's are great. I dont know how to make them,but Aloe i would think is fairly easy'ish. take the pulp, juice it essentially and dry it and use it as flakes. not sure how long it stays good in a more liquid gel state. yucca Im not sure about either to be honest. but lots of info here I have in stuff on my Favs list. you might find useful...? PDF's and the like. I recommend them both.
