Use Garlic Spray to Kill Bugs
If you are like most people when you go outside to check your plants, it is distressing to see bugs eating the plants you worked so hard to grow. If the plants are in your vegetable garden, you probably don't want to spray toxic sprays all over the plants, for fear that in a few weeks you will be eating them. Using a garlic spray is an organic alternative to killing off bugs that can ruin your garden. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Break apart one head of garlic. There is no need to peel it but you should chop off the hard end, as it will just be in the way in the blender. Throw them into the blender with 2 cups of hot water. Blend the garlic until it is finely minced, about 3 minutes.
2. Pour the water/garlic mixture into a mason jar and cover tightly. Set it aside for at least 12 hours, overnight works well. The garlic flavors and oils will dissolve into the water. Strain into a quart container, using a fine-meshed strainer so that no particles come through.
3. Mix the strained garlic water and 1 teaspoon of Ivory dish soap and pour into a spray bottle.
4. Spray the plants with the garlic spray, coating it until it is wet with the spray. Spray early in the day or in the late afternoon when the heat of the day will not cause the soap to hurt the foliage. The soap will break the surface tension, causing many bugs to suffocate, while the garlic will make the plant taste terrible for the bugs.
5. Reapply the garlic spray after every rain, since the water will rinse it off the plants.
