Garlic / Pepper Spray

 for Pest Determent

 

 

Nana's Bug Juice

from the book 
"Herb Gardening At Its Best"
 by Sal Gilbertie



Put

  • two cloves of garlic

  • some cayenne pepper ( I use 2 Tablespoons)

  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar 

into a blender. 

Mix thoroughly and strain through

cheesecloth to get a clear liquid. 

Pour this into a spray bottle (The recipe doesn't say to, 

but I then fill the bottle to the top with water),

set on "mist", 

and mist the affected plants.

(I use a 16 ounce (.53 litre) spray bottle)
 

 Make sure to get 

the undersides of the leaves.


 

This is completely non-chemical and safe

for edible plants, but also works on all plants.
