48 ounces = 96 tablespoons, so:

Clove oil 7.49 tablespoons and table salt 1.15 tablespoons

haha, you threw down a challenge, I am a math tutor, so I took it up.
first, it appears you want to duplicate the store-bought mixture?
91% of that mixture is inert - who knows what? So I'm not sure you can duplicate it.

But to answer your questions -
stay with me - it's more complicate that I first thot! :)

Clove oil - 7.8% of 48 fluid ounces = approx 3.7 ounces = approx Seven and one half tablespoons of clove oil.

Table salt - 1.2 % of 48 fluid ounces = approx. 1/2 ounce.
Here is where it gets complicated.
How many tablespoons does 1/2 ounce equal?
Depends on weight.
Wiki says that 1 tablespoon of salt weighs 18 grams which equals approx 3/4 of a dry ounce.

So I would say 1/2 to 3/4 of a tablespoon of salt - but am not quite certain of this second calculation.

My suggestion is to do a search under homemade woodchuck repellent and you probably will turn up some good recipes.

Not sure if this helps, but if you found something that works against woodchucks, I want to know what it is!

Oh, thank you Dears! You're so sweet to do all that brain work for li'l ol' me.

Now I'm going to make up a mixture and see what happens. The inert ingredients were also on the label, but not in percents: Molasses, vinegar, eggs, onion, water, guar gum. I figure the molasses is to make it stick on the leaves.

Now I have to get ahold of some clove oil.

oh excellent - good luck!

You should be able to get clove oil at a health food store.

i also read somewhere to add some 'wiltproof' which will allow it to 'stick' longer?

You can google essential oil and find oil of clove.
